Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $2,697 of the $3,339 with a category attached, or 80.8%. 3 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 56.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,304 and has fallen 99.6% since, to $14 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in WA 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.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Pfizer | 5 | $1,873 |
| Novo Nordisk AS | 6 | $1,451 |
| AstraZeneca | 1 | $14 |
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.
- Ozempic$1,413
How this compares
