General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Novartis | 7 | $8,908 |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. | 8 | $8,842 |
| Genentech, Inc. | 3 | $2,447 |

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
$22,407 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 13,581 internal medicine providers in California.
