Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 75 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 AbbVie at 39.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,268, more than ten times the $13 reported in 2021.
Across 75 payments — averaging $29.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
