Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 3 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. That places this record below the midpoint for sports medicine clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $1,700.
Across 3 payments — averaging $17.49 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Gilead$30
- Abbott$22
Across 1,483 payments — averaging $1706.14 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
