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 |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 3 | $2,070,409 |
| Eli Lilly | 2 | $1,250,983 |
| Novartis | 63 | $388,018 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 1 | $84,274 |
| Incyte Corporation | 4 | $42,000 |
| AbbVie | 4 | $11,995 |
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
$3,847,679 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 8,530 internal medicine providers in Florida.
