Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (57.1%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Among pediatrics clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 5 payments — averaging $287.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Merck$820
- Viiv Healthcare Company$615
Across 4 payments — averaging $158,799 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.
- Merck$635K
What the payments were for
- Consulting fees$82057%
- Travel & lodging$49034%
- Food & beverage$1269%
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 1 | $820 |
| Viiv Healthcare Company | 4 | $615 |
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.
- PIFELTRO$820
