Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 93.0% of the total across 118 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 25.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,761, 4.5 times the $616 reported in 2021. Among adult health clinicians in NY 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 118 payments — averaging $59.60 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
