2010 Payments to U.S. Physicians

Edwards Lifesciences’ 2010 Payments to U.S. Physicians

Scope of Payments Covered in Report

The following types of payments are covered under Edwards Lifesciences’ voluntary U.S. physician payment reporting program:

Professional Services:

Educational Speaking or Training: sharing experiences about the use of certain medical devices, conducting medical educational courses, teaching other physicians about the latest developments in the science of medicine, providing other physicians with hands-on training on a specific medical device or procedure, or proctoring of medical device procedures.
Research or Consulting: providing research and counsel on technologies, diseases, or trends in patient treatment.
Corporate Scientific Advisory Board: providing Edwards’ management, scientists and engineers with feedback on our research and development pipeline, product ideas, and plans for improvements to existing products.

Expense Reimbursement:

Travel and Meals: expenses paid or reimbursed for appropriate business-related travel and meals.

Intellectual Property:

Royalties or Licensing: fees are paid to physicians who have ownership rights in patents that Edwards uses in its medical technologies.

Limitations:

These disclosures are limited to transactions with U.S. physicians who are Health Care Professionals (“HCP”s) as defined by the AdvaMed Code of Ethics. As a result, there can be situations where a U.S. physician who receives remuneration from Edwards is not listed in this report. For example, if a physician serves on the Corporation’s Board of Directors, but is not involved in purchasing or recommending the purchase of Edwards’ products, they are not an HCP and there is no disclosure of compensation for their services.

For proprietary reasons, payments related to clinical trial research are not included.

In addition to making Intellectual Property royalty payments to individual physicians, as described above, Edwards also makes such payments to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (TCCF) and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Mount Sinai) for patents made by physicians who were affiliated with those institutions at the time of their inventions. The physicians are Delos M. Cosgrove, M.D. (TCCF), Patrick McCarthy, M.D. (TCCF) and David Adams, M.D. (Mount Sinai). Edwards does not know the amounts of payments, if any, TCCF or Mount Sinai makes to these physicians.
