- How often are physicians receiving paid meals for Herceptin throughout the year (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually)?

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, 30 months of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 800,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
- Over 3,600 paid interactions across 2,200 physicians made on behalf of Herceptin were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 9 peer products (e.g. Abraxane, Afinitor, Avastin, Cyramza, Fareston, Faslodex, Halaven, Kadcyla, and Perjeta) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
