Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,327 of the $4,893 with a category attached, or 88.4%. It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,661 and has fallen 91.7% since, to $138 in 2025. Among diagnostic radiology 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 71 payments — averaging $68.92 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
