What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2022 at $696 and has fallen 72.5% since, to $192 in 2025.
Across 104 payments — averaging $21.09 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
