Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (49.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. accounts for 88.0% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $51,268 and has fallen 98.9% since, to $542 in 2025. Among urology clinicians in CA 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 196 payments — averaging $725.95 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.
