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 | 5 | $9,103 |
| PTC Therapeutics, Inc. | 4 | $751 |
| Biogen | 3 | $302 |
| Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (fka Avexis, Inc.) | 2 | $191 |
| Genentech, Inc. | 1 | $129 |
| NS Pharma, 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 neuromuscular medicine providers in Massachusettsto place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
