Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $580,411 of the $586,179 with a category attached, or 99.0%. Biogen accounts for 88.0% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $158,385 and has fallen 57.4% since, to $67,520 in 2025. Among public health & general preventive medicine clinicians in GA 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 96 payments — averaging $6106.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

| Alkermes, Inc. | 8 | $69,710 |
| Biontech SE | 2 | $600 |
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.
