Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Payments

100

Compared to peers

Substantially above average

Dr. Alexander Rivkin received $125,364 across 100 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 97% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as consulting fee, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What are the benefits of cheek filler, according to Dr. Rivkin?
Dr. Rivkin states that cheek filler can restore harmony in the midface, bring back structure, lift, and light to the face, and rebalance features so the eyes appear brighter and the jawline looks more sculpted. It can also be a subtle but powerful solution for hollowing, sagging, or loss of definition.
