Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (47.6%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Lundbeck LLC at 33.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $39,155 and has fallen 99.1% since, to $348 in 2024. Among neurology 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.
Across 181 payments — averaging $499.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
