Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (37.2%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 88.0% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $13,299 and has fallen 86.8% since, to $1,757 in 2025. Among internal medicine 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 228 payments — averaging $182.27 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
