Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,380 of the $5,817 with a category attached, or 75.3%. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Cvrx, Inc. at 26.5% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,134, 6.2 times the $345 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in CA 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 69 payments — averaging $84.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
