Understanding Pharmaceutical Company Payment Reports
Under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, pharmaceutical and medical device companies must report all payments and transfers of value to licensed physicians and teaching hospitals. Amgen Inc is required to disclose every payment, including consulting fees, speaking engagements, meals, travel, research funding, and ownership interests.
A high spending total does not necessarily indicate improper behavior. Large pharmaceutical companies with extensive product portfolios naturally make more payments to physicians. However, examining the patterns of spending -- which specialties are targeted, which doctors receive the most, and what types of payments predominate -- can provide valuable insights for patients.
