Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $2,000,182 of the $2,141,887 with a category attached, or 93.4%. Amgen accounts for 68.3% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $538,359 and has fallen 98.4% since, to $8,691 in 2025. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in NC 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 392 payments — averaging $5464.00 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

| Bristol Myers Squibb | 5 | $495,543 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 2 | $182,895 |
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.
