No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $13,370 of the $15,371 with a category attached, or 87.0%. It is spread thinly across 55 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,840 and has fallen 81.9% since, to $876 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in NV 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.
