Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (50.7%), gifts and entertainment — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 69.6% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,946 and has fallen 57.7% since, to $823 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in AL 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 166 payments — averaging $55.74 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
