Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 83 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 24.2% of the total. 2024 is the largest year on record at $454, 2.9 times the $155 reported in 2019.
Across 83 payments — averaging $19.09 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
