Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,850 of the $5,537 with a category attached, or 87.6%. It is spread thinly across 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,711, more than ten times the $19 reported in 2020.
Across 189 payments — averaging $29.29 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
