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 |
|---|---|---|
| Viiv Healthcare Company | 10 | $1,197 |
| Gilead | 5 | $405 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $167 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $25 |
| Novo Nordisk | 1 | $18 |
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
$1,813 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 1,338 pediatrics providers in Tennessee.
