Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (55.5%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Abbott accounts for 87.7% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $613,572 and has fallen 64.0% since, to $220,604 in 2025. Among clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in TX 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 2,004 payments — averaging $793.08 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
