Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 14 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Merz North America, Inc. accounts for 94.6% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $414 and has fallen 96.3% since, to $15 in 2025. Among emergency medicine clinicians in NC with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 14 payments — averaging $72.15 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Merz North America, Inc.$955
- Galderma Laboratories, L.p.$55
Across 109 payments — averaging $21,186 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Merz North America, Inc. | 11 | $955 |
| Galderma Laboratories, L.p. | 3 | $55 |
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.
- XEOMIN$741
