If you want to know how much money your provider has been paid/given benefits by pharma, this is the best first place to go. Second is look at what meds you are getting. How many are new brand name drugs versus generic? That is another “tell”. Caveat here: there are some drugs for some things that are new to the market and do not have a generic equivalent yet. Cancer drugs are a big one. If someone made a brand new never seen before drug that got patented, it may be the only drug out there to treat whatever type of cancer you have. In my world of psychiatry, there are numerous drugs to treat each condition, with plenty of generic options available.
