Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 2 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Cerus Corporation accounts for 78.4% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest.
Across 2 payments — averaging $143.85 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Cerus Corporation$226
- Terumo BCT, Inc.$62
Across 36 payments — averaging $71,593 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.
- Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.$2.6M
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$288100%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Cerus Corporation | 1 | $226 |
| Terumo BCT, Inc. | 1 | $62 |
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
Too few blood banking & transfusion medicine providers in District of Columbiato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
