Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $6,632 of the $10,527 with a category attached, or 63.0%. 28 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. at 41.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $6,156, more than ten times the $60 reported in 2022. Among medical clinicians in GA 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 223 payments — averaging $47.20 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.
