Does being paid in connection with NEO mean a doctor is promoting it?

Was your doctor paid by Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc.?

Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. reported the most payments naming NEO. 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.

Total reported: $18K
Providers: 15
Transactions: 15
Average per transaction: $1,200

The per-transaction average — $1,200 — 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 15 providers the average total is $1,200, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
