Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 95 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abiomed at 47.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,113, 3.0 times the $365 reported in 2021. Among acute care clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 95 payments — averaging $36.89 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
