Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (37.7%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Astellas Pharma US Inc accounts for 60.9% of it on its own, with 38 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $8,864 and has fallen 73.8% since, to $2,325 in 2025. Among medical clinicians in MI 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 319 payments — averaging $60.78 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
$19,389 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 755 medical providers in Michigan.
