Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,260 and has fallen 98.2% since, to $57 in 2023.

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
$5,112 in reported general payments places this provider in the 60th percentile of 450 hematology & oncology providers in Ohio.
