Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.5% of the total across 87 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Amgen at 26.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,249 and has fallen 90.0% since, to $125 in 2021.
Across 87 payments — averaging $18.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
