Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 98 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $951 and has fallen 96.2% since, to $36 in 2021. Among pediatrics clinicians in WV with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 98 payments — averaging $12.88 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
