Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,142 of the $5,883 with a category attached, or 87.4%. It is spread thinly across 24 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,262 and has fallen 96.4% since, to $117 in 2025. Among family clinicians in WV 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 188 payments — averaging $31.29 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
