What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2022 at $117,158 and has fallen 94.3% since, to $6,731 in 2025. Among pediatric infectious diseases clinicians in OH 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| GSK | 407 | $362,542 |
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.
How this compares
$362,542 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 43 pediatric infectious diseases providers in Ohio.
