Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $3,974,586 of the $3,996,134 with a category attached, or 99.5%. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 42.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,673,535, 8.3 times the $201,366 reported in 2021. Among emergency medicine clinicians in MA 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 118 payments — averaging $33,866 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.

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.
