* 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

Open Payments product	Payment year	Part D brand	Part D year	Claims	Match method	Source
PAXLOVID paxlovid	2025	Paxlovid	2024	56	exact normalized	Medicare Part D

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.

Paying company	Payment year	Drug reported by same entity	Open Payments evidence	Part D	Claims	Beneficiaries
PFIZER INC. Exact reporting entity; no affiliate inference	2025	ELIQUIS open payments reported associated product	CMS Open Payments — General Payments 87112 supporting records · 36032 recipient NPIs · example record 1228794063	Eliquis · 2024 Exact normalized brand match · 1 Part D row	268	68

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.

Payment and prescribing data by year

Open Payments and Medicare Part D may refer to different years. They are shown separately rather than aligned as if they describe the same period.

Questions to ask

Questions you could discuss with your doctor

What role, if any, does Paxlovid play in your treatment recommendations for me?
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?
How should I interpret the industry-payment records shown here in the context of my care?

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.
