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.

| Kyowa Kirin, Inc. | 9 | $11,410 |

| AbbVie | 1 | $21 |
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
$42,911 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 37 pediatric endocrinology providers in Tennessee.
