**The data ProPublica's 'Dollars for Docs' is built on.** Every disclosure of a payment from a pharmaceutical, medical-device, or biologic manufacturer to a US physician, non-physician practitioner, or teaching hospital since 2013. Required by Section 6002 of the Affordable Care Act (42 CFR Part 403 Subpart I). Each canonical page shows a physician's lifetime pharma payments, year-by-year totals, top manufacturers paying them, and the drug/device most associated with the $$$. Each manufacturer page shows their top recipients. Direct conflict-of-interest evidence: which doctors took most from Purdue Pharma the year they switched prescribing to OxyContin, which oncologists got paid by Bristol-Myers Squibb to consult on Opdivo, etc. Source: download.cms.gov/openpayments (CC0, annual refresh by CMS). Stored as aggregates (cms_op_physicians lifetime totals, cms_op_manufacturers lifetime totals, cms_op_yearly per-NPI-per-manufacturer-per-year breakdown) since the raw record set is ~140M payments and won't fit in D1.
