What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2022 at $650 and has fallen 83.5% since, to $107 in 2025.

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.

How this compares

$1,961 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 28 pediatric pulmonology providers in Michigan.
