Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,115 of the $2,937 with a category attached, or 72.0%. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 28.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,168 and has fallen 76.6% since, to $274 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in MD 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 105 payments — averaging $27.97 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
