Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (54.9%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Amgen accounts for 62.9% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $40,847 and has fallen 51.4% since, to $19,867 in 2025. Among pediatric hematology-oncology clinicians in PA 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 62 payments — averaging $1447.34 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.

| Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 12 | $25,270 |
| Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 3 | $4,055 |

| AstraZeneca | 2 | $1,370 |
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.
