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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. | 18 | $12,156 |
| Kyowa Kirin, Inc. | 6 | $7,221 |
| AstraZeneca | 4 | $5,355 |
| Amgen | 1 | $2,200 |
| Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $1,675 |
| Travere Therapeutics, Inc. | 2 | $3 |
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.
