Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 73 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 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $736, 6.1 times the $120 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for pediatric allergy/immunology clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $3,304.
Across 73 payments — averaging $23.26 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
