Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (54.0%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Dentsply Sirona Inc at 46.1% of the total. Among general practice clinicians in CA 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 175 payments — averaging $748.32 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
