### [`getTopPaymentRecipients`](https://kirha.com/providers/openpayments/getTopPaymentRecipients.md)

Rank US clinicians by general payments (consulting, speaker fees, travel, food...) received in one program year from a company and/or for a drug/device. Core KOL-mapping tool: filter by nature of payment, state or specialty. Requires companyId or productName; productName-only queries scan the whole year and can take up to a minute, so pass companyId when known. Product matching uses the primary product of each payment.

Get everything industry paid one US clinician (by NPI) in CMS Open Payments: yearly totals since 2019 (general, research, ownership), totals per paying company across all years, and for one program year the breakdown by company, nature of payment and product. Use for KOL profiling and conflict-of-interest checks.

Find drug/device manufacturers and GPOs reporting to CMS Open Payments (US Sunshine Act) by name, ranked by total payments since 2019.
