Industry payments to physicians · Vermont · 2024

Vermont

In Vermont, drug and device makers reported $1M in general payments to 487 covered recipients (physicians and other clinicians) for 2024 — a mean of $2,848 each — plus $5M tied to research and $33,992 in ownership interests.

A payment is a disclosed financial tie, not proof of wrongdoing — many are research grants, consulting fees, or royalties a physician earns on a device they invented. Transparency, not a verdict.

What this is — and is not

A disclosure record of industry–physician financial ties in Vermont — not evidence that any payment influenced care, not a measure of a physician's quality, and not advice about your own doctor. To verify a specific physician, search CMS Open Payments directly.
