Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 125 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 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,499 and has fallen 97.5% since, to $37 in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $3,104.
Across 125 payments — averaging $14.24 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
