Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $17,820 of the $27,544 with a category attached, or 64.7%. 49 manufacturers reported payments, led by Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. at 38.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $15,258, more than ten times the $407 reported in 2021. Among adult health clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 878 payments — averaging $31.37 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.
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
$27,544 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 3,828 adult health providers in New York.
