Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (58.2%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by AstraZeneca at 44.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $22,273 and has fallen 95.4% since, to $1,019 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in FL 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 72 payments — averaging $401.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
