What the Data Shows for Forthright Medical-AZ, LLC

CMS Open Payments is not a single ledger: the all-tracks total shown above is General Payments plus Research Payments plus Ownership/Investment interests, each with its own disclosure rules. For Forthright Medical-AZ, LLC that figure is drawn almost entirely from the General Payments track (day-to-day consulting, meals, travel and speaking fees). Data for a given Program Year arrives roughly a year after the period it covers; our methodology page documents the release cadence and how we standardize the tracks for cross-company comparison.

"Consulting Fee" leads the 3-category general-payment breakdown below at $13.4K (54.1% of General Payments, 10 transactions) - see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately.
