Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $4,161 of the $6,314 with a category attached, or 65.9%. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 57.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $3,711 and has fallen 88.7% since, to $418 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in VA 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.
