Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $7,662 of the $8,606 with a category attached, or 89.0%. It is spread thinly across 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,645, more than ten times the $128 reported in 2020.
Across 161 payments — averaging $53.45 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
