What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $174,259 of the $192,433 with a category attached, or 90.6%. Galderma Laboratories, L.p. accounts for 60.5% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $107,133 and has fallen 93.6% since, to $6,887 in 2025. Among medical clinicians in MI 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.

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.
