Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (57.3%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Vertex accounts for 72.9% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among anesthesiology clinicians in AZ 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 89 payments — averaging $708.17 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.
