This data set captures all transfers of value (e.g., speaking fees, consulting fees, travel, education, and meals) made on behalf of a drug or device manufacturer to a physician. Currently, 42 months of longitudinal data is available - covering payments to more than 900,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
Over 35,500 paid interactions across 12,900 physicians made on behalf of Synthroid were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 1 peer products (e.g. Unithroid) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
