Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 379 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Salix Pharmaceuticals, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLC at 41.3% of the total. 2023 is the largest year on record at $2,006, more than ten times the $129 reported in 2019. Among anesthesiology clinicians in VA 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 379 payments — averaging $16.66 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
