Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,357 of the $4,407 with a category attached, or 76.2%. It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,049 and has fallen 57.4% since, to $447 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in TX 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 193 payments — averaging $22.84 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
