Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $9,070 of the $12,089 with a category attached, or 75.0%. 7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Merck at 39.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $4,458 and has fallen 57.7% since, to $1,887 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in UT 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 73 payments — averaging $165.61 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.
