Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 93.3% of the total across 215 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Getinge USA Sales, LLC at 37.2% of the total. Among surgical clinicians in TX 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 215 payments — averaging $52.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
