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. Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. accounts for 62.2% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for pediatric pulmonology clinicians in NC, where the typical reported total is $230.
Across 2 payments — averaging $95.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$119
- Biogen$73

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.

| Biogen | 1 | $73 |
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.
