Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 88 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 35 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,227 and has fallen 91.8% since, to $101 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for hematology & oncology clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $4,479.
Across 88 payments — averaging $24.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
