Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 90.6% of the total across 16 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sobi, Inc at 42.3% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $619, more than ten times the $46 reported in 2021.
Across 16 payments — averaging $65.72 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Sobi, Inc$445
- Vertex$220
- Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc.$193
- Astellas Pharma US Inc$99
- Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC$95
Across 13 payments — averaging $182,154 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.
- Vertex$2.4M
- National Marrow Donor Program$12K
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$95391%
- Education$999%
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Sobi, Inc | 6 | $445 |
| Vertex | 4 | $220 |
| Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 4 | $193 |
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 1 | $99 |
| Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC | 1 | $95 |
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
$1,052 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 3,302 internal medicine providers in North Carolina.
