Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 187 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,415 and has fallen 77.5% since, to $318 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for allergy & immunology clinicians in KY, where the typical reported total is $7,092.
Across 187 payments — averaging $18.11 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
