Align Technology, Inc.'s CMS-reported General Payments decreased by $291.1K (−1.7%) from PY2023 to PY2024.
How this year-over-year comparison is scoped
The comparison uses consecutive CMS program years only (current = prior + 1) from the manufacturer General Payments summary and excludes research and ownership or investment records. Non-consecutive year pairs are not shown as year-over-year change. This General Payments figure is not the all-tracks company total in the hero.
CMS source labels for this exact identifier: PY2022: ALIGN TECHNOLOGY, INC.PY2023: ALIGN TECHNOLOGY, INC.PY2024: Align Technology, Inc.. Matching identifiers support a bounded record comparison; a label difference would be reported as unresolved rather than treated as a corporate event.

What the Data Shows for Align Technology, Inc.
The all-tracks total above combines three CMS reporting categories - General Payments, Research Payments, and Ownership/Investment interests - not one undifferentiated figure. For Align Technology, Inc., that total blends General Payments (day-to-day consulting, meals, travel and speaking fees, shown separately above) with Research and Ownership/Investment interest records, each governed by its own CMS reporting rules. CMS publishes each Program Year's data roughly 12 months after the reporting period ends, so this reflects the most recently released cycle; see our methodology for how the tracks are standardized and compared across companies.
The 10-category breakdown below covers general payments only (see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately). The largest general-payment category is "Compensation for Services Other Than Consulting" at $7.0M, accounting for 41.6% of this company's General Payments and 1,435 transactions.
General Payment Breakdown by Type
Align Technology, Inc. made 10 types of general payments. "Compensation for Services Other Than Consulting" is the largest category at $7.0M, 41.6% of General Payments.
