Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.1% of the total across 185 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 27.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,092 and has fallen 83.1% since, to $184 in 2023.
Across 185 payments — averaging $20.90 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVie | 69 | $1,070 |
| Sanofi | 39 | $840 |
| Novartis | 24 | $499 |
| Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc. | 12 | $311 |
| UCB, Inc. | 10 | $253 |
| Pfizer | 10 | $200 |
| LEO Pharma Inc. | 4 | $193 |
| Lilly USA, LLC | 6 | $156 |
| Bristol Myers Squibb | 1 | $92 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 4 | $88 |
| Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC | 1 | $72 |
| Almirall LLC | 2 | $34 |
| Amgen | 2 | $32 |
| Genentech USA, Inc. | 1 | $24 |
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 dermatopathology providers in Louisianato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
