Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (44.1%), gifts and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 91.1% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $2,950 and has fallen 69.2% since, to $907 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in AZ 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 166 payments — averaging $39.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
