Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — gifts (56.3%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 83.8% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $22,873 and has fallen 94.8% since, to $1,192 in 2025. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in VA 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 241 payments — averaging $156.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
