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. More than four years of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 975,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
• Over 6,800 paid interactions across 3,300 physicians made on behalf of Vimovo were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 3 peer products (e.g. Duexis, Pennsaid, and Zorvolex ) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
