Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $6,318 of the $8,349 with a category attached, or 75.7%. It is spread thinly across 15 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,897 and has fallen 50.3% since, to $1,441 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in NC 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 212 payments — averaging $39.38 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
