Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,469 of the $6,350 with a category attached, or 86.1%. It is spread thinly across 33 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,364 and has fallen 51.8% since, to $1,139 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in CA 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 212 payments — averaging $29.95 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
