Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $21,533 of the $24,165 with a category attached, or 89.1%. It is spread thinly across 44 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 848 payments — averaging $28.50 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Sanofi$3K
- UCB, Inc.$3K
- AbbVie$3K
- Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc.$2K
- Novartis$2K
- Johnson & Johnson$1K
- plus $10K from 38 others
What the payments were for
- Consulting fees$1,7967%
- Food & beverage$21,53389%
- Education$8363%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Cosentyx Unoready PenSecukinumab | 12 | $145,804 |
| OtezlaApremilast | 17 | $76,582 |
| Doxycycline Hyclate | 19 | $448 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| AmgenOtezla | $475 | $76,58217 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. There are too few providers in Georgiaon file to place this against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
