Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.2% of the total across 104 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,207 and has fallen 88.0% since, to $144 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for cardiovascular disease clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $3,258.
Across 104 payments — averaging $21.24 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
