Who reported the general payments

| Organon | 85 | $70,468 |
| Coopersurgical, Inc. | 18 | $16,025 |

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.
