What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $31,515 of the $48,636 with a category attached, or 64.8%. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sobi, Inc at 59.3% of the total. Among pediatric hematology-oncology clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 56 payments — averaging $868.49 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Sobi, Inc | 43 | $28,819 |
| Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB | 5 | $18,524 |
| Novartis | 7 | $1,165 |
| Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $128 |
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
$48,636 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 307 pediatric hematology-oncology providers in California.
