Use cases

  • Pharma and medtech compliance: monitor and audit the payments your own company or your competitors reported, by product, physician or specialty, and reconcile them against internal records.
  • KOL and physician research: find which key opinion leaders receive consulting fees, honoraria or research funding, from which companies, and how much, to map influence around a drug or device.
  • Investigative journalism and watchdog work: quantify industry money flowing to named physicians and hospitals, spot outliers, and back reporting with structured, exportable data.
  • Academic and policy analysis: build datasets on financial relationships between industry and medicine across states, specialties and years.
  • Due diligence and provider screening: check the industry payment footprint of a specific physician by NPI before a partnership, hire or investment.

How to use it

  1. Pick a Payment Type (General, Research or Ownership) and a Program Year.
  2. Add any filters you want: NPI, physician first or last name, paying company name (partial match works, for example Pfizer or Medtronic), recipient state, or nature of payment for General records.
  3. Set Max Items to the number of records you want.
  4. Run the actor and export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the Apify API.

Leave all filters empty to pull the most recent records for the selected dataset.

FAQ

Where does this data come from? It comes from the US Open Payments program, the national disclosure system that requires drug and device companies to report payments and transfers of value they make to physicians, other covered clinicians and teaching hospitals. The records are public federal disclosures.

Can I search by a specific doctor? Yes. Enter the physician's 10-digit NPI for an exact match, or use the first and last name filters. Every matching payment for the selected program year is returned.

Can I find every payment a company made? Yes. Enter the company name in the paying company filter. Partial names work, so Stryker or Novartis will match all of that company's reported entities. Combine it with a state or nature of payment to narrow further.

What is the difference between General, Research and Ownership payments? General payments are everyday transfers of value such as consulting fees, meals, travel and gifts. Research payments are tied to a research study or protocol. Ownership payments cover physician ownership and investment interests in a company.

Which years are available? Program years 2019 through 2025 are all supported. Newer years are published each summer.

How many records can I pull? As many as match your filters. Broad searches can contain hundreds of thousands of records, so use the filters and Max Items to keep result sets manageable.

What formats can I export? JSON, CSV and Excel, plus direct access to the dataset through the Apify API.

This actor is an independent tool and has no affiliation with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or the Open Payments program. It accesses only the payment records that CMS publishes as public federal disclosures under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act. This data is intentionally public, and individual physician names appear because federal law requires these financial relationships to be disclosed. The records are personal information about real people. Use this data lawfully and responsibly: respect the Open Payments terms of use, applicable privacy and anti-spam laws, and GDPR-style data-protection principles where they apply. Do not use it to harass any physician or for any purpose prohibited by law.
