What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $8,900 of the $11,215 with a category attached, or 79.4%. 39 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 49.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,172 and has fallen 93.0% since, to $293 in 2025. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation clinicians in AL 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 642 payments — averaging $17.47 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
