Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 3 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Merck accounts for 75.2% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for infectious disease clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $190.
Across 3 payments — averaging $31.04 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Merck$70
- VBI Vaccine (delaware) Inc.$23
Across 82 payments — averaging $8945.83 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Sanofi Pasteur Inc.$714K
- Merck$15K
- Pfizer$5K
What the payments were for
