Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (53.5%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 28 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 36.6% of the total. Among acute care clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 139 payments — averaging $93.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
