Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.8%), consulting fees and ownership interests — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. accounts for 70.7% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $979,058 and has fallen 59.0% since, to $401,447 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in UT 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 153 payments — averaging $30,723 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
