Payments to Health Care Professionals

Pfizer believes it is appropriate and ethical to fairly compensate health care professionals for the work they do on our behalf. Pfizer does not pay health care professionals for prescribing our medicines or as an inducement for promoting our products.

About the Payment Report

• The data in the report covers the period from July 1 through December 31, 2009.*
• You may search the database by physician name or scroll through the report, which is presented alphabetically by first name and last name or institution name.
• If you place your cursor over most terms, you will find a full definition of the highlighted term.
• When a payment is attributed to an institution for research, please note that the research payment reflects payments to the institution, not an individual investigator.
• This report does not include payments from Wyeth, as the data for the combined companies are being integrated throughout 2010. Wyeth data will be included in reports once systems have been integrated.
• If you have questions about specific payments or information, click here to send an email to Pfizer Payment Transparency Initiative or call 800-511-2727.

The next report will be posted on March 31, 2011 and will include data from January 1 through December 31, 2010.

• What we are disclosing

* This disclosure includes all payments made between July 1 and December 31, 2009. For some expenses, Pfizer's Standard Operating Procedure allows for a 90-day reconciliation-post-program date to finalize all costs which could include hotel, food and beverage costs, and other travel. Any transactions that were not fully reconciled at the time the disclosure database was finalized have not been included. These will be included in the next reporting cycle.
