Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $184,452 of the $251,626 with a category attached, or 73.3%. Abbott accounts for 94.4% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $107,017 and has fallen 58.5% since, to $44,401 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in FL 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.
