Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (59.5%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 33.6% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,324, more than ten times the $68 reported in 2023. Among internal medicine clinicians in IA 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 110 payments — averaging $57.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
