Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,216 of the $4,709 with a category attached, or 89.5%. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by UCB, Inc. at 29.0% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,805, 4.0 times the $453 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in GA 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 189 payments — averaging $24.92 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
