Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (56.8%), consulting fees and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 47 manufacturers reported payments, led by Genentech USA, Inc. at 39.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $2,732 and has fallen 99.4% since, to $15 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for hematology & oncology clinicians in AL, where the typical reported total is $7,159.
Across 233 payments — averaging $27.04 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.
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
$6,300 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 177 hematology & oncology providers in Alabama.
