Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 99 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Corium, LLC at 24.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,525 and has fallen 85.5% since, to $222 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in LA 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 99 payments — averaging $35.37 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
