Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $522,599 of the $721,129 with a category attached, or 72.5%. Medtronic accounts for 92.0% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $184,115 and has fallen 57.5% since, to $78,210 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in WA 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 716 payments — averaging $1007.16 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
