Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $1,429,988 of the $1,449,068 with a category attached, or 98.7%. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 54.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $329,862 and has fallen 90.6% since, to $31,023 in 2025. Among rheumatology clinicians in MA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Pfizer | 54 | $793,661 |
| Janssen Research & Development, LLC | 29 | $330,999 |
| Astrazeneca UK Limited | 21 | $171,171 |

| UCB SA | 7 | $34,682 |
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
$1,449,068 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 265 rheumatology providers in Massachusetts.
