Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (33.9%), speaking fees and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Davol Inc. at 34.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $139,470 and has fallen 75.1% since, to $34,717 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology 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.
Across 392 payments — averaging $753.85 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
