Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (40.3%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Inari Medical, Inc. at 44.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $36,140 and has fallen 95.1% since, to $1,766 in 2025. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in FL 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 327 payments — averaging $189.28 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
