Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.9% of the total across 378 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 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Among adult health clinicians in NY 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 378 payments — averaging $19.78 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
