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.

No industry payments reported. We checked Dr. Vladimir Panine against the CMS Open Payments database and found no payments from drug or device makers on record for 2025, the most recent year CMS has published.
