Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 54 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 29 manufacturers reported payments, led by AstraZeneca at 30.3% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,007, 2.8 times the $718 reported in 2021. Among nurse practitioner clinicians in DE 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 54 payments — averaging $102.72 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
