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. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 28.1% of the total. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in TX 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 309 payments — averaging $95.14 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
