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 |
|---|---|---|
| Viiv Healthcare Company | 20 | $27,027 |
| Merck | 20 | $11,334 |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. | 1 | $5,850 |
| Gilead | 7 | $1,347 |
| Cipla USA Inc. | 1 | $583 |
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
