Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (52.8%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 49.6% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $9,065, more than ten times the $339 reported in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $25,729.
Across 269 payments — averaging $76.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
