Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $8,797 of the $14,360 with a category attached, or 61.3%. AbbVie accounts for 61.5% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $5,459 and has fallen 63.6% since, to $1,988 in 2025. Among family clinicians in CA 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 245 payments — averaging $58.61 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVie(2 entities) | 190 | $8,827 |
| Merz North America, Inc. | 17 | $3,240 |
| Galderma Laboratories, L.p. | 27 | $1,584 |
| Revance Therapeutics, Inc. | 7 | $460 |
| Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation Inc. | 4 | $249 |
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.
How this compares
$14,360 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 10,634 family providers in California.
