Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 183 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,000 and has fallen 98.2% since, to $18 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in OR 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 183 payments — averaging $16.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
