Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (47.1%), gifts and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 52.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $12,876 and has fallen 99.5% since, to $66 in 2023. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 276 payments — averaging $79.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
