Baxter Healthcare's CMS-reported General Payments increased by $587.1K (+14.0%) 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.
