Has Rohit Aiyer received payments from drug or device companies?

Yes. Drug and device makers reported $100,324 in general payments to Rohit Aiyer across 451 transactions between 2019–2025. Most Open Payments records nationally are meals worth under $20; a reported payment is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Does a payment mean Rohit Aiyer did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $61,600 of the $100,324 with a category attached, or 61.4%. 43 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 42.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $75,677, more than ten times the $3,090 reported in 2019. Among pain medicine clinicians in CA 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.
