Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (52.7%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc. accounts for 88.5% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among reproductive endocrinology clinicians in MA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 39 payments — averaging $582.01 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.$20K
- Granata Bio Corporation$2K
- AbbVie$102
- Therapeuticsmd, Inc.$58
- Organon$21
Across 49 payments — averaging $13,705 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

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.

| Granata Bio Corporation | 4 | $2,424 |
| AbbVie | 5 | $102 |
| Therapeuticsmd, Inc. | 3 | $58 |
| Organon | 1 | $21 |
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.
