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 |
|---|---|---|
| Stryker | 3 | $1,191 |
| Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. | 2 | $315 |
| Intersect ENT, Inc. | 1 | $126 |
| KARL Storz Endoscopy-america | 1 | $120 |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. | 1 | $15 |
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 pediatric otolaryngology providers in Massachusettsto place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
