Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 164 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 28.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,282 and has fallen 99.4% since, to $14 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional pain medicine clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $6,464.
