Report Finds Nearly 6 Out Of 10 U.S. Doctors Received Over $12 Billion From Big Pharma Firms Between 2013 And 2022

 Report finds nearly 6 out of 10 U.S. doctors received over $12 billion from Big Pharma firms between 2013 and 2022.

A report has found that almost six in 10 doctors in the United States received more than $12 billion in payments from Big Pharma firms between 2013 and 2022.

This is according to a study done by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, which found that around 57 percent of doctors received approximately $12.1 billion from medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical drug makers between 2013 and 2022.

The researchers used data from the platform Open Payments - a publicly accessible national database where drug and medical device companies disclose payments and gifts made to physicians - for their study.

Thirty-nine medical specialties were analyzed in the study and the researchers found that orthopedic surgeons received the largest total sum of payments, at $1.36 billion.

The specialties that received the largest total sum of payments were neurologists and psychiatrists, who received $1.32 billion, and cardiologists, who received $1.29 billion.

Although the median payment to doctors was $48, payments to the top 0.1 percent of doctors were far higher and differed depending on specialty.
