General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

| Novartis | 19 | $42,465 |
| Blueprint Medicines Corporation | 17 | $28,111 |

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.
