Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $136,043 of the $156,397 with a category attached, or 87.0%. Amgen accounts for 97.6% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $49,348 and has fallen 75.2% since, to $12,230 in 2025. Among family medicine 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 341 payments — averaging $458.64 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.
