Is Your Doctor Getting Pharma Money?
Search any doctor to see payments they received from pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Data from the CMS Open Payments program covering $2.4 billion paid to 948,000+ doctors.
How It Works
The Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires drug and device manufacturers to report all payments to doctors. This includes consulting fees, speaking engagements, meals, travel, research funding, and royalties. We make this data searchable so you can see your doctor's industry relationships.
Does receiving payments mean my doctor is unethical?
No. Many payments cover legitimate activities like medical research, educational speaking, and consulting on drug development. However, transparency helps patients make informed decisions.
What types of payments are reported?
Payments include consulting fees, speaking fees, meals, travel, education, research grants, royalties, and ownership interests. Even a $15 lunch during a drug presentation is reported.
Where does this data come from?
The CMS Open Payments program (openpaymentsdata.cms.gov) collects and publishes this data annually. Companies are required by law to report payments to physicians and teaching hospitals.
