Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 93 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 34.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,006 and has fallen 97.1% since, to $29 in 2024.
Across 93 payments — averaging $23.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
