How much money does your doctor receive from pharmaceutical companies?

[Nelson Vergel]

Drug companies have long kept secret details of the payments they make to doctors and other health professionals for promoting their drugs. But 15 companies have begun publishing the information, some because of legal settlements. Use this tool to search for payments.

Very interesting thank you Nelson. None of my previous GP's have any reportable payments but all of my specialists have.

Free samples, in effect, can influence how doctors prescribe as well. However, I don't think it will show up as a cash payment.
