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 |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 6 | $500 |
| Servier Pharmaceuticals LLC | 3 | $75 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 1 | $44 |
| Novartis | 1 | $37 |
| RARE Disease Therapeutics, Inc. | 1 | $23 |
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.
- KEYTRUDA$313
