• How does BMS and Pfizer’s depth of coverage vary within key specialties (e.g., Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Cardiology, Emergency Medicine, Interventional Cardiology, and Critical Care Medicine) and how does this compare to its peers and the overall set of rep-accessible physicians?
• How often are physicians receiving paid meals for Eliquis throughout the year (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually)?
• Who were the most frequent meal recipients and top paid speakers for Eliquis in 2018?

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 227,200 paid interactions across 57,900 physicians made on behalf of Eliquis were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 6 peer products (e.g. Bevyxxa, Brilinta, Pradaxa, Xarelto, Yosprala, and Zontivity ) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
