What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,400 of the $1,609 with a category attached, or 87.0%. It is spread thinly across 24 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $690 and has fallen 77.6% since, to $154 in 2025.

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.
