Does Pfizer pay for meals?
Since we may be taking time away from a health care professional’s meal break, Pfizer may provide your doctor and her medical staff with a breakfast or lunch in the office during in-office meetings. Pfizer may also provide meals at expert-led forums. The cost of meals at expert-led forums are divided equally across all attendees, regardless of their actual consumption. In our 2010 reporting, Pfizer will report the value of meals that exceed $25 or more per person if the aggregated value of meals and compensation is equal to or greater than $500. In 2011, we will report all meals and compensation. We do not pay the health care professionals for participating in these sessions.
