What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $137,257 of the $170,990 with a category attached, or 80.3%. Sanofi accounts for 99.8% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among general practice clinicians in NY 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.

| GSK | 12 | $210 |
| Sanofi Pasteur Inc. | 4 | $75 |

| Alk-abello, Inc | 1 | $17 |
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.
