Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 115 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Ironshore Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 28.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $684 and has fallen 70.4% since, to $203 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in SC 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 115 payments — averaging $22.55 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.
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.

- QELBREE$121
- Jornay PM 20mg capsules (Bottle of 100)$119
