Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (59.5%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by CSL Behring at 47.7% of the total. Among pediatric allergy/immunology clinicians in FL 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 275 payments — averaging $1179.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
