Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (48.4%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Pfizer accounts for 82.9% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $23,046, more than ten times the $1,890 reported in 2019.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$32,720
Medicare patients
127
Services billed
258

What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
