Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 71 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 54.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,046, 7.5 times the $139 reported in 2019. Among pediatrics clinicians in MD 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 71 payments — averaging $43.46 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

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.
