What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $154,418 of the $160,458 with a category attached, or 96.2%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Novartis. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $63,025 and has fallen 94.4% since, to $3,519 in 2024. Among internal medicine 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 349 payments — averaging $459.77 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Novartis | 349 | $160,458 |
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
$160,458 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 3,302 internal medicine providers in North Carolina.
