These records are submitted by drug and medical device companies, and a reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper.

A reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper. Research payments can go to a hospital or university for a study the clinician leads, not to the clinician personally. Clinicians can dispute records with the company that reported them.
