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 |
|---|---|---|
| Genentech USA, Inc. | 5 | $6,060 |
| Novartis | 6 | $4,891 |
| Eli Lilly | 2 | $2,450 |

| Sanofi | 1 | $64 |
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.
