Has Russell Hosaka received payments from drug or device companies?

Yes. Drug and device makers reported $4,573 in general payments to Russell Hosaka across 78 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 Russell Hosaka 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.

Where does this information about Russell Hosaka come from?

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 94.8% of the total across 78 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Coopervision Inc. at 27.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,559 and has fallen 59.9% since, to $625 in 2024. Among optometrist clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
