Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $102,118 of the $122,188 with a category attached, or 83.6%. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novartis at 41.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $73,221 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $72 in 2023. Among neurology clinicians in MA 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 139 payments — averaging $879.05 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

| Biogen | 34 | $22,628 |
| EMD Serono, Inc. | 23 | $16,996 |

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.
How this compares
$122,188 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 761 neurology providers in Massachusetts.
