What this record shows

Biogen accounts for 73.8% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $16,566 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $205 in 2024.
Across 27 payments — averaging $979.90 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

| Biogen | 13 | $19,522 |
| Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (fka Avexis, Inc.) | 4 | $4,450 |

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.
