Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 69 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 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 69 payments — averaging $22.46 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- AbbVie$290
- Exeltis, USA Inc.$250
- Mayne Pharma Commercial LLC$136
- Millicent US Inc$128

Across 60 payments — averaging $1606.43 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

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.
