What are drug companies paying your doctor?
Search 2,050,659 U.S. providers. See the payments drug and device makers reported under the Sunshine Act, what each doctor billed Medicare, and what they prescribed — side by side, from the official CMS records.
Read this first.A reported payment is not evidence of wrongdoing. Most Open Payments records are meals worth under $20. Royalties go to physicians who invented a device; research money usually passes through the doctor to a hospital. The useful question is never “did they take money” but “what kind, how much, and how does that compare with their peers” — which is what every page here is built to show.
