Paid to pharmacies by Part D plans and patients — not your cost, and not paid to the prescriber. Is this wrong?
Was your doctor paid by Abbott?
Abbott reported the most payments naming PRODIGY. 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.

- Average per transaction
- $74
The per-transaction average — $74 — 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 911 providers the average total is $165, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
