Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.0% of the total across 67 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 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,091 and has fallen 97.4% since, to $28 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in MO, where the typical reported total is $1,415.
Across 67 payments — averaging $24.41 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
