Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,181 of the $4,193 with a category attached, or 75.9%. It is spread thinly across 27 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,368, more than ten times the $77 reported in 2019.
Across 168 payments — averaging $24.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
