That places this record below the midpoint for nephrology clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $1,018.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Novartis | 1 | $102 |
| Gilead | 1 | $96 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $64 |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. | 1 | $21 |
| Lilly USA, LLC | 1 | $15 |
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.
- ENTRESTO$102
