Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (42.3%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Centermed, Inc. at 34.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $2,744 and has fallen 85.2% since, to $406 in 2025. Among oral & maxillofacial surgery clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 67 payments — averaging $107.20 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
