• How does Boehringer Ingelheim’s depth of coverage vary within key specialties (e.g., Family Medicine, Nursing, Internal Medicine, Pulmonology, Physician Assistant, Critical Care Medicine, and Allergy/Immunology) and how does this compare to its peers and the overall set of rep-accessible physicians?

Data Sources and Methodology:

• MDDetails leverages company-reported financial transaction data disclosed through CMS Open Payments. This data set captures all transfers of value (e.g., speaking fees, consulting fees, travel, education, and meals) made on behalf of a drug or device manufacturer to a physician. Currently, over 5 years of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 1,000,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
• Over 370 paid interactions across 320 physicians made on behalf of Combivent were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 10 peer products (e.g. AirDuo Digihaler, Anoro, Bevespi, Breztri Aerosphere, Lonhala Magnair, Spiriva, Stiolto, Symbicort, Trelegy Ellipta, and Yupelri ) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
