Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (59.9%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 54.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,357, more than ten times the $310 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in CO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 75 payments — averaging $64.00 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
