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
$20,150 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 210 rheumatology providers in North Carolina.
