Merck accounts for 88.5% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $34,270 and has fallen 98.9% since, to $394 in 2022.

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.
