Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.0% of the total across 24 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Novo Nordisk accounts for 64.3% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $635, 2.6 times the $241 reported in 2019.
Across 24 payments — averaging $67.45 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Novo Nordisk | 14 | $1,040 |
| Lilly USA, LLC | 5 | $233 |
| Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC | 1 | $122 |
| Bayer | 1 | $109 |
| Merck | 1 | $55 |
| Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc | 1 | $32 |
| GSK | 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.
