Who Paid My Doc: Open Payments

Look up any U.S. doctor and see which drug and medical device companies paid them, how much, and for what. Who Paid My Doc searches the federal Open Payments database (the Sunshine Act record) alongside Medicare prescribing data, so you can check a physician before your next appointment.

Drug and device makers report billions a year in consulting fees, speaking payments, travel, meals, royalties, and research funding paid to doctors. The data is public, but enormous and easy to misread. Who Paid My Doc makes it readable on a phone.

LOOK UP A DOCTOR
• Search any physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant by name, city, state, specialty, or NPI number
• Lifetime totals, year-by-year history, specialty percentile, and every company that paid them
• Medicare Part D prescribing and Part B services shown next to the payments, so you can see what a doctor prescribes and who paid them
• Individual payment records: date, amount, nature of payment, and the drug or device involved

LOOK UP A COMPANY, DRUG, OR HOSPITAL
• Pharma and device manufacturers: what they paid, to whom, and in which categories
• Drugs and devices: the money attached to each brand
• Teaching hospitals: institutional totals, kept separate from individual ones

EXPLORE WITH NO NAME IN MIND
• Yearly overview with the monthly trend
• Leaderboards: top paying companies, top paid doctors, hospitals, and products
• Breakdowns by nature of payment, state, specialty, and more

TOOLS
• Compare doctors side by side
• Save your care team and get a quick read on each of them
• Share cards for any doctor, company, or drug
• Disclosure statement generator, batch check, custom lists, and what changed year over year

BUILT NOT TO MISLEAD YOU
• General, research, and ownership money are never added into a single "total". They are different kinds of money, and a combined figure means nothing.
• Names never appear alone. Around a quarter of recipient profiles share a name with another profile, so every name is shown with a city, state, or specialty beside it.
• Being a study's principal investigator is shown apart from being paid.
• Truncated rankings say so. A top ten that looks complete is a lie by omission.
• Every figure is tied to a program year, and the year is always on screen.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
• Free, no account needed: search, doctor and company profiles, payment records, prescribing, and the insights dashboard
• Patron subscription ($19.99 a month): comparison, intelligence, and the power tools, plus saved contacts with your own tags and private notes

Records you have already opened and notes you have written stay readable when you are offline.

WHO USES IT
Patients checking a doctor, journalists and researchers, compliance teams, medical sales reps, and clinicians reviewing their own record before the dispute window closes.

ABOUT THE DATA
Who Paid My Doc displays data published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Open Payments program and the Medicare Provider Utilization datasets, refreshed at each import. We do not verify, edit, or correct the underlying records. Disputes about a record are handled by CMS at cms.gov/openpayments.

IMPORTANT
Who Paid My Doc is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CMS or any U.S. government agency.

A payment record is not evidence of wrongdoing. Financial relationships between industry and medicine are legal, common, and often necessary for research. Who Paid My Doc reports what was disclosed. It does not judge it.

Who Paid My Doc is not a consumer reporting agency, and the information in it is not a consumer report. Do not use it to make decisions about employment, credit, insurance, housing, or any other purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
