Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $7,101 of the $8,432 with a category attached, or 84.2%. 31 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abiomed at 26.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,766, more than ten times the $244 reported in 2019. Among internal medicine clinicians in AZ 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 105 payments — averaging $80.30 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
