Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $7,620 of the $8,487 with a category attached, or 89.8%. It is spread thinly across 31 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $3,067 and has fallen 61.7% since, to $1,173 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in TN 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 76 payments — averaging $111.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
