Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $7,308 of the $11,243 with a category attached, or 65.0%. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Merz North America, Inc. at 52.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $6,824 and has fallen 78.8% since, to $1,445 in 2025. Among women's health clinicians in CA 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.
