Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $11,107 of the $15,075 with a category attached, or 73.7%. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by GSK at 59.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $12,606 and has fallen 99.3% since, to $87 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in UT 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.
