Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 2 | $179 |
| Geron Corporation | 1 | $129 |
| Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 4 | $90 |
| AbbVie | 2 | $54 |
| GSK | 2 | $39 |
| Novartis | 1 | $23 |
| Daiichi Sankyo Inc. | 1 | $23 |
| Exelixis Inc. | 1 | $22 |
| Genmab U.S., Inc. | 1 | $20 |
| Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $19 |
| Pfizer | 1 | $18 |
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.
- RYTELO$129
How this compares
$617 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 4,059 nurse practitioner providers in Pennsylvania.
Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |

| Morphine Sulfate ErMorphine Sulfate | 28 | $660 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 29 | $439 |

| Escitalopram Oxalate | 29 | $307 |
