Was your doctor paid by Abbott?
Abbott reported the most payments naming Epic. Search your clinician to see whether they are among them — and what else they were paid for.
Finding a payment is not a finding of wrongdoing — most reported payments are a meal during a presentation. What matters is the kind, the size, and how it compares with their peers, which is what the profile shows.

The per-transaction average — $132 — is the number that tells you what kind of spending this is. A few dollars means meals at product presentations, reported by the thousand. Hundreds or thousands means consulting, speaking or royalty arrangements with a much smaller group of physicians. Across all 1,837 providers the average total is $434, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
