Dollars for Docs – What Drug Companies are Paying Your Health Professionals
Source: http://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/
By Dan Nguyen, Charles Ornstein, and Tracy Weber, ProPublicaUpdated Dec. 22, 2010.
Drug companies have long kept secret details of the payments they make to doctors for promoting their drugs. But eight companies have begun posting names and compensation on the Web, some as the result of legal settlements. ProPublica compiled these disclosures, totaling $320 million, into a single database that allows patients to search for their doctor. Receiving payments isn’t necessarily wrong, but it does raise ethical issues.

Top Earners
Story: Who’s on Pharma’s Top-Paid List?
In October 2010, ProPublica identified 384 healthcare providers who earned more than $100,000 total from one or more of the eight companies that have disclosed payments in 2009 and early 2010. We matched the payee records with licensed doctors and registered nurses in the states listed. When a match could not be found, for example when a recipient was a pharmacist, we used other sources to confirm their identities.
The payments are listed as we compiled them in October 2010 and so the displayed total may not be up-to-date. Do a search to find the recipient’s latest payments.
See more details about the compilation of this list.

- Some providers earning more than $100,000 may not be included in this list because of variations in how drug companies spelled their names. Also, more than 70 drug companies have yet to publicly report their payments.
- Payments that were designated for groups of doctors, rather than individual doctors, were excluded from our calculation.
- ProPublica checked whether physicians had specialty board certification using the web sites of the American Board of Medical Specialties, the American Medical Association and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. A designation of “not listed” means that we could not find any record of certification.
- We obtained information on government actions, which include sanctions and warnings, from the websites of state medical boards and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Some states remove older discipline from their web sites.

grate article. Why isn’t there a published list of doctors, hospitals, distributors, etc. that were involved with the kickbacks, where by 5 medical device mfg paid $311 million fine in 2007. By paying this fine,an ongoing investigation looking into questionable marketing and kick backs seemed to go away. Yet I have read several of these same companies were fined again. Big Bucks keeps Big Secrets from you and me?
Brings me to another possible solution to help eliminate this B.S.
Impose strict, strict disclosure laws, provided by medical device manufacturers; and keep these new disclosure laws simple and to the point.
If I go through a red light I get a ticket, pay the fine, done; however if I accumulate too many tickets I could lose my driving privledges.
So, If I use the same common sense, and you are a device mfg, or doctor etc you have to disclose everything about a particular device. If you don’t follow the law and get caught, ist offense a fine, (large enough to get investors attention. as to an amount when I have the opportunity I will be happy to give you my numbers for fines, a second infraction the fine would get the entire companies attention, 3rd violation your device is prohibited from being used ,sold in US despite any ongoing contractual obligations between the mfg and dr’s,hospitals etc, and the mfg. involved can not submit approval from FDA for a similar device. Also this device can’t be routed through any other mean back to US. The time for this infraction I also will save my recommendations.
How do I know the manufacturer, that developed the hip product used on me, didn’t provide all the real data as to good results as well as bad, in order to gain approval through 510k plan of approval.
The more I read and learn about the medical device world, the more my mind creates ideas and answers as to simplifying a system that needs help now.
There is information I have read articles that implies and in some instances make statements the importance of approving new devices as quickly as possible, is for our benefits. However if the manufacturer has to go through adequate testing(not the existing laws) and other data, it will take longer for approval, more expensive, less incentive to invent new product etc. Oh I forgot what about me, you and how I could benefit from this new unstested product, what about if it doesn’t work properly or other adverse complications I, you could experience.
No matter what I say or anyone else says I seem to come back to Market Share and Financing is more important losing a few patients.
Again, I am available to help impliment my thoughts and anyone elses, as long as common sense and logic enters the picture.
Respectfully
Howard Sadwin
HI Howard
the more I read about it, the more I realize that the orthopaedics companies are really a commercial extension of the medical fraternity.
Orthopaedics manufacturers cannot exist without doctors and there would be no medical progress.
Without the profits of the orthopaedics companies, the doc’s could not commercialize, to wider benefit, their medical advances – they could not even afford the FDA processes!
So I think we have the proverbial “catch 22” – but one that needs to be more transparent and better regulated as you suggest.
Earl
