Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,205 of the $3,600 with a category attached, or 89.0%. It is spread thinly across 37 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $917, 2.4 times the $387 reported in 2019.
Across 172 payments — averaging $20.93 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
