Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,672 of the $7,274 with a category attached, or 64.2%. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 44.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $3,989 and has fallen 79.7% since, to $811 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in LA 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.

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.
