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 |
|---|---|---|
| Smith+Nephew | 2 | $26,190 |
| Arthrex | 20 | $20,972 |
| Encore Medical, LP | 13 | $3,428 |
| Modernatx, Inc. | 20 | $3,285 |
| Stryker | 7 | $448 |
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.
