Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (55.3%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. accounts for 67.8% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among infectious disease clinicians in IL 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 142 payments — averaging $3712.15 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 125 | $357,263 |
| Amgen | 14 | $169,729 |
| Romark Laboratories, LC | 2 | $111 |
| Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $23 |
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
$527,126 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 368 infectious disease providers in Illinois.
