Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (58.2%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Bayer accounts for 71.2% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $8,186 and has fallen 98.9% since, to $88 in 2025. Among nephrology clinicians in UT with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 33 payments — averaging $255.32 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
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.
