General payments by program year
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.

| AstraZeneca | 50 | $32,847 |
| Grifols USA, LLC | 36 | $26,700 |

| CSL Behring | 3 | $1,650 |
| Diagnostica Stago, Inc | 1 | $103 |
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.

- POC CoaguChek Meters, Strips and Accessories$3,575
- ULTOMIRIS$3,308
