What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 3 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. That places this record below the midpoint for pulmonary disease clinicians in WA, where the typical reported total is $276.
Across 3 payments — averaging $31.69 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Vertex$51

Across 20 payments — averaging $34,974 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
