Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (53.0%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Biotronik Inc. at 37.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $8,095 and has fallen 75.8% since, to $1,957 in 2025. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in FL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 199 payments — averaging $115.84 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
