Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $42,870 of the $56,730 with a category attached, or 75.6%. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 58.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $37,479 and has fallen 82.6% since, to $6,513 in 2022. Among infectious disease 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVie | 44 | $32,926 |
| Gilead | 31 | $18,632 |
| Merck | 9 | $3,673 |
| Genentech, Inc. | 2 | $1,500 |
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
$56,730 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 799 infectious disease providers in New York.
