Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $78,370 of the $104,573 with a category attached, or 74.9%. AbbVie accounts for 98.5% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $71,929, more than ten times the $235 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in FL 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 313 payments — averaging $334.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
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.
