What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 2 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in MA, where the typical reported total is $408.
Across 2 payments — averaging $25.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
