Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $15,150 of the $22,307 with a category attached, or 67.9%. Amgen accounts for 78.1% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $15,567, more than ten times the $613 reported in 2019. Among rheumatology clinicians in UT 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.
