Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (43.2%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Merck accounts for 91.5% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $60,336, more than ten times the $1,224 reported in 2019.
Across 71 payments — averaging $1409.73 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Merck$92K
- GSK$5K
- Sanofi Pasteur Inc.$3K
- Astellas Pharma US Inc$12
Across 277 payments — averaging $18,553 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.

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 | 65 | $91,593 |
| GSK | 3 | $5,400 |
| Sanofi Pasteur Inc. | 2 | $3,086 |
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 1 | $12 |
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.
- VAXNEUVANCE$19,121
- PREVYMIS$10,763
- CAPVAXIVE$1,183
- ENFLONSIA$522
