Generally no, but did have journavx reps come in as I was interested.

i do not talk to drug reps. they can drop off brochures if they want but they are made aware that they will end up in the recycle bin.
to clarify, not the reps. the brochures.

They can bring my staff lunch and goodies all they want. I'm not signing for anything.
They never send me the good looking reps. I had one I used to call “the creepy ginger.”
I don't mind shooting the sht for a few minutes to keep the staff fed and happy
What's the legality of not signing if they bring staff lunch?
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.
Free lunch for staff. I stop in for long enough to sign the form and say hello.
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

Not sure. I think only things a clinician receives gets reported.
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...
technically any gifts given to a physician or staff is reportable.

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"?
The AMA here is the America Marketing Association
This 100%
The AMA lost me when they went full transgender despite centuries of evidence to the contrary
They lost me with Obamacare. Trying to portray that since the AMA was behind it (to sell more codes) that actual doctors were behind it.
Sounds like someone has an excess of bilious humours...
