Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 94.7% of the total across 86 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by GSK at 25.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $472 and has fallen 62.7% since, to $176 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in NY 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 86 payments — averaging $17.55 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
