Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 156 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by GSK at 27.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $957 and has fallen 87.1% since, to $123 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for allergy & immunology clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $5,878.
Across 156 payments — averaging $17.66 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
