What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.3% of the total across 116 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 27.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $843 and has fallen 77.4% since, to $191 in 2024. Among pediatrics 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.
