Hundreds of thousands of dollars or more each year are given to doctors from pharmaceutical and medical device companies, according to an investigation by ProPubica. After six years of tracking industry payments to doctors, they found doctors affiliated with for-profit hospitals and hospitals in the south are more likely to accept payments. 

 KCUR's Megan Hart and Dan Margolies report on such payments made to Kansas and Missouri physicians, looking into which local hospitals accept money and the amount of money paid to the metro area.
