Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 171 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Amgen at 37.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $1,834 and has fallen 89.9% since, to $186 in 2025. Among nurse practitioner clinicians in CA 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 171 payments — averaging $21.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
