Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $16,936 of the $21,406 with a category attached, or 79.1%. Bristol Myers Squibb accounts for 81.4% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $8,896 and has fallen 88.2% since, to $1,046 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in PR 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 113 payments — averaging $189.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
