Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (54.0%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 97.8% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $13,480, more than ten times the $214 reported in 2021. Among adult health clinicians in CA 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 274 payments — averaging $108.64 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

| AbbVie(2 entities) | 248 | $29,098 |
| Galderma Laboratories, L.p. | 25 | $649 |
| Revance Therapeutics, Inc. | 1 | $20 |
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.
