Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (51.0%), royalties or licence payments and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 32.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $5,000 and has fallen 50.0% since, to $2,500 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 7 payments — averaging $2189.34 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.

| Janssen Research & Development, LLC | 2 | $5,000 |
| F. Hoffmann-la Roche AG | 1 | $2,812 |
| Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. | 1 | $2,500 |
| Amgen | 1 | $13 |
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.
- SPRAVATO$2,500
