Drug Reps

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
no drug reps here for years
 
Generally no, but did have journavx reps come in as I was interested.
 
I just want samples and copay cards and nothing else

Am I the only one who refuses to talk to drug reps? Stim reps are one thing, but I can’t stand drug reps coming in the clinic.

Nope. We had them come in all the time during fellowship. I've blocked all of them since being out.
 
Don’t mind them coming in. We get fajitas, Panda Express teriyaki chicken, etc. We have a schedule on the fridge and they sign themselves up. Xtampza and Journavx so I like the products and I am actively prescribing them. So little talk about the drugs.

What's the legality of not signing if they bring staff lunch?

I refuse all food and never sign yet still there are hundreds of dollars a year on the pro publica or whatever watchdog site monitors this. Idiotic
 
We stopped allowing them to even come to our clinics. Docs and midlevels would prescribe whatever medicine they were peddling only to clog up our prior auth dept and piss patients off with empty promises of insurance coverage blah blah blah.
 
I talk to them on the condition that they bring lunch for the staff. Many have valuable information about payer dynamics, business intelligence, and more. Some participate in similar recreational activities and sports that I do, have kids around the same age, or belong to the same clubs, and we talk about upcoming events, etc. I went to one's wedding once...

A relative in sales once summed up his field. The customer has money in his pocket and I want that money in my pocket.

That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen out of the AMA, and I think we can all admit that's an impressive feat.

What about Dr. "I don't have time for your nonsense because if I'm at work I want to be working not schmoozing with some overpriced used car salesman"?
