What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,015 of the $1,404 with a category attached, or 72.3%. It is spread thinly across 12 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.4%. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $702 and has fallen 68.9% since, to $218 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for hematology & oncology clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $4,479.
Across 16 payments — averaging $87.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|

| Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC | 2 | $203 |
| Seagen Inc. | 2 | $181 |
| Sanofi | 2 | $170 |
| Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $121 |

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
$1,404 in reported general payments places this provider in the 30th percentile of 370 hematology & oncology providers in Georgia.
Medicare billing
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.
