Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 1 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Amgen. That places this record below the midpoint for cardiovascular disease clinicians in IL, where the typical reported total is $1,479.
Across 1 payment — averaging $110.53 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Amgen$111
Across 96 payments — averaging $39,055 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Eli Lilly$2.7M
- Regeneron$878K
- Pfizer$122K
- Chiesi USA, Inc.$41K
- AstraZeneca$10K
- Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$8K
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$111100%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Amgen | 1 | $111 |
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.
- KRYSTEXXA$111
How this compares
