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 |
|---|---|---|
| Abbott | 6 | $220 |
| Terumo BCT, Inc. | 1 | $146 |
| Cerus Corporation | 1 | $61 |
| AstraZeneca | 1 | $50 |
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.
- REVEOS AUTOMATED WHOLE BLOOD PROCESSING SYSTEM$146
- Alinity s$143
