Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,149 of the $2,400 with a category attached, or 89.5%. It is spread thinly across 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,313 and has fallen 83.4% since, to $218 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in PA, where the typical reported total is $1,951.
Across 137 payments — averaging $17.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

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.
