About The Study: From 2013 to 2022, U.S. physicians received $12.1 billion from industry. More than half of physicians received at least one payment. Payments varied widely between specialties and between physicians within the same specialty. A small number of physicians received the largest amounts, often exceeding $1 million, while the median physician received much less, typically less than a hundred dollars.  

Authors: Andrew J. Foy, M.D., of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, is the corresponding author.
