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.

| Novartis | 17 | $314 |
| Gilead | 1 | $103 |
| AstraZeneca | 3 | $59 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 2 | $35 |

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.
