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.

|---|---|---|
| Novo Nordisk | 7 | $7,301 |
| AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 5 | $3,626 |
| Helsinn Healthcare SA | 1 | $700 |
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.
