Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (48.9%), other and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 72.3% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $89,815 and has fallen 77.1% since, to $20,588 in 2025. Among anesthesiology 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.

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.
