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: PIEDMONT PLUS INNOVATIONPY2023: PIEDMONT PLUS INNOVATIONPY2024: Piedmont Plus Innovation. 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 Piedmont Plus Innovation
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 Piedmont Plus Innovation 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.
Of the 2 general-payment categories charted below, "Travel and Lodging" is the largest at $16.2K across 45 transactions, 65.5% of this company's General Payments (see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately).
