Pharmaceutical company payments to physicians: Early experiences with disclosure laws in Vermont and Minnesota
Article Abstract:
Several states have laws mandating disclosure of payments made to physicians by pharmaceutical companies, and an investigation was made to determine the accessibility and quality of the available data, to describe the prevalence and magnitude of disclosed payments. Payments of $100 or more were made to physicians by pharmaceutical companies, but the laws did not provide easy access to public, and the quality of data accessed was not satisfactory.
