Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,179 of the $6,577 with a category attached, or 78.7%. It is spread thinly across 44 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 189 payments — averaging $34.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc$538
- Aadi Bioscience, Inc.$422
- Astellas Pharma US Inc$419

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.
How this compares
$6,577 in reported general payments places this provider in the 60th percentile of 1,363 hematology & oncology providers in California.
