Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 73 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 AbbVie at 27.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $659 and has fallen 88.5% since, to $76 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for dermatology clinicians in AZ, where the typical reported total is $2,461.
Across 73 payments — averaging $22.93 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
