Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (59.7%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Stryker at 49.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,905 and has fallen 78.0% since, to $640 in 2025. Among primary podiatric medicine clinicians in PA 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 79 payments — averaging $109.13 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.
