Release-over-release change
General Payments changed from PY2023 to PY2024
NuSmile, Ltd.'s CMS-reported General Payments increased by $41.1K (+15.3%) 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: NUSMILE, LTD.PY2023: NUSMILE, LTD.PY2024: NuSmile, Ltd.. 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 NuSmile, Ltd.
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 NuSmile, Ltd. 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.
"Honoraria" leads the 8-category general-payment breakdown below at $107.4K (34.6% of General Payments, 46 transactions) - see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately.
