* Product-associated amounts are non-additive because one payment record may name more than one product.

These products were named on specific Open Payments records. A named product does not show that the payment influenced treatment or prescribing.

Public prescribing for products named in payments

No exact normalized or approved-alias overlap was found in the loaded Part D year. This does not mean the doctor never prescribed the product.

The presence of the same drug in both datasets does not show that a payment caused or influenced a prescription.

Analysis 2 · Same-company prescribing overlap

Drugs reported in other payments from the same company that also appear in Medicare Part D

This analysis is independent from products named on this doctor’s individual payment records. A row appears only when the exact Open Payments reporting entity paid this doctor, that same reporting entity reported the drug or biological on at least 10 loaded General Payment records involving at least 2 distinct recipient NPIs, and this doctor has the same non-generic brand in public Part D data. This does not mean the company owns or manufactures the drug.

These facts do not show that a payment was for the drug, that the company owns or manufactures the drug, or that a payment caused or influenced prescribing.

Questions to ask

Questions you could discuss with your doctor

How do you evaluate evidence when you have a financial relationship with PFIZER INC.?
Are there reasonable alternatives I should understand when we discuss treatment options?

These are general questions generated from reviewed templates. They are not personalized medical advice.

Sources and limitations

How to read this page

Payment and Medicare prescribing data can cover different years; every comparison shows both years explicitly.
Part D does not represent a doctor’s entire practice; it excludes many patients and is subject to CMS public-release thresholds.
Company–drug relationships must have an auditable source, a precise relationship type, and a valid evidence period. Unresolved mappings are not published.
Generic drug claims are not attributed to a specific manufacturer without manufacturer-level evidence.
When a source extract is incomplete, missing rows are never treated as proof of no payments or no prescriptions.
