Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $174,219 of the $199,790 with a category attached, or 87.2%. 48 manufacturers reported payments, led by Amgen at 33.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $62,727 and has fallen 99.2% since, to $502 in 2023. Among neurology clinicians in NC 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 916 payments — averaging $218.11 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.

- AJOVY$43,396
- NURTEC ODT$17,893
