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.

What the Data Shows for Merge Healthcare Incorporated
Three separate CMS disclosure tracks feed the all-tracks total above - General, Research, and Ownership/Investment - each reported under its own rules and combined here for one comparable figure. For Merge Healthcare Incorporated that figure is drawn almost entirely from the General Payments track (day-to-day consulting, meals, travel and speaking fees). CMS releases each Program Year roughly 12 months after it ends; the methodology page covers the full standardization basis.
The 1-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 "Food and Beverage" at $6.9K, accounting for 100.0% of this company's General Payments and 135 transactions.
