What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $776 of the $931 with a category attached, or 83.4%. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Merck at 59.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $456 and has fallen 56.1% since, to $200 in 2025.
Across 18 payments — averaging $51.70 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Merck$557
- Gilead$289
- Viiv Healthcare Company$60
- Theratechnologies Inc.$12
- Johnson & Johnson$12
Across 243 payments — averaging $3299.07 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Merck$802K
What the payments were for
- Travel & lodging$15417%
- Food & beverage$77683%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 8 | $557 |
| Gilead | 7 | $289 |
| Viiv Healthcare Company | 1 | $60 |
| Theratechnologies Inc. | 1 | $12 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $12 |
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.
How this compares
Too few pediatric infectious diseases providers in Puerto Ricoto place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
