Is this you? Corrections and disputes
If you are a clinician who has found your own page, this explains what we can fix and what only CMS can fix. Most complaints turn out to be about the underlying federal data rather than about this site, and those have a real process behind them that is worth using.
If the payment figures are wrong
These come from CMS Open Payments exactly as published. We do not adjust, estimate or interpolate them. If a manufacturer reported something incorrectly, the authoritative fix is CMS's own review and dispute process — physicians can review their records and formally dispute them during an annual window before publication.
Start at openpaymentsdata.cms.gov. Once CMS publishes a correction, it appears here on our next refresh — Open Payments annually, provider identity monthly.
If the billing or prescribing figures are wrong
Same principle. These come from the Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners and Part D Prescriber public use files, data year 2024. Be aware that both are narrower than they look: Part B figures exclude Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and CMS suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer beneficiaries. A number that seems too low is often correct but partial.
If this site got something wrong
These we fix ourselves, and we want to hear about them:
- A page that mixes up two different clinicians who share a name.
- A wrong or outdated specialty, credential, or city.
- A registration that is no longer active and is not marked as such.
- Anything on a page that reads as an accusation rather than a statement of what was reported. That is a defect and we treat it as one.
Email [email protected] with the page address and what is wrong. Include your NPI so we can find the right record.
What we will not do
We do not remove accurate federal records. The Sunshine Act exists to make this information public, and Doctor Payments Data republishes it in a form people can actually read. What we will always do is present it neutrally, show its composition rather than a bare total, place it against peers doing the same job in the same state, and say plainly what the data does not cover.
We also never publish practice street addresses, for anyone.
