Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $59,297 of the $75,624 with a category attached, or 78.4%. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Braeburn Inc. at 52.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $47,200, more than ten times the $69 reported in 2021. Among gerontology clinicians in PA 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.
Across 255 payments — averaging $296.56 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Braeburn Inc. | 119 | $39,868 |
| Alkermes, Inc. | 78 | $34,577 |

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
$75,624 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 383 gerontology providers in Pennsylvania.
