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.

|---|---|---|
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. | 1 | $12,000 |
| Eisai Inc. | 11 | $9,003 |
| Penumbra, Inc. | 1 | $141 |
| Intuitive Surgical | 2 | $119 |
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.
- Dayvigo$1,800
- RUBY Coil$141
- Da Vinci Surgical System$113
