What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,983 of the $4,567 with a category attached, or 87.2%.

Reporting peaked in 2024 at $1,867 and has fallen 77.2% since, to $425 in 2025.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

What the payments were tied to

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.

How this compares

$4,567 in reported general payments places this provider in the 65th percentile of 750 cardiovascular disease providers in Massachusetts.
