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 Novartis Pharma AG
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 Novartis Pharma AG, 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 releases each Program Year roughly 12 months after it ends; the methodology page covers the full standardization basis.
"Consulting Fee" leads the 4-category general-payment breakdown below at $141.9K (87.6% of General Payments, 46 transactions) - see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately.
