Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 90.9% of the total across 76 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $596 and has fallen 97.2% since, to $17 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $7,973.
Across 76 payments — averaging $26.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
