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 |
|---|---|---|
| Clarus Therapeutics Inc. | 6 | $4,490 |
| Boehringer Ingelheim | 1 | $3,186 |
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
$7,675 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 9,771 internal medicine providers in New York.
