Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $8,638 of the $10,111 with a category attached, or 85.4%. It is spread thinly across 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,038, 4.9 times the $620 reported in 2019. Among corneal and contact management clinicians in TX 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 146 payments — averaging $69.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
