Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (51.9%), food and beverage and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Merck at 40.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,713 and has fallen 96.9% since, to $83 in 2021. Among pediatrics clinicians in NC 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 68 payments — averaging $43.20 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
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.
