Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 294 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 35 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,851 and has fallen 99.1% since, to $17 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in AZ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 294 payments — averaging $18.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
