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 |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 18 | $17,926 |
| Tolmar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $1,605 |
| Novo Nordisk AS | 2 | $469 |
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.

$20,000 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 27 pediatric endocrinology providers in Indiana.
