Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 91.6% of the total across 17 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Merz North America, Inc. accounts for 96.5% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $334 and has fallen 50.9% since, to $164 in 2023. Among emergency medicine clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 17 payments — averaging $45.95 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Merz North America, Inc.$754

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Merz North America, Inc. | 16 | $754 |
| AbbVie | 1 | $27 |
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.
- XEOMIN$245
