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.

|---|---|---|
| AstraZeneca | 6 | $1,349 |
| Pfizer | 6 | $1,282 |
| Eli Lilly | 29 | $915 |
| AbbVie | 3 | $184 |

| Galderma Laboratories, L.p. | 1 | $59 |
| Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. | 1 | $11 |
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.
