Financial Interactions
Any direct or indirect payment made to a Canadian HCP by a Canadian Innovative Medicines Canada Member company or a third party acting on behalf of the Member company, in exchange for services rendered by said HCP to the Canadian Member company. Such services may include services rendered as a speaker, consultant or advisor to the Canadian Member company. Consistent with the current Code of Ethical Practices, a Canadian HCP is defined as “… a person who by education, training, certification, or licensure is qualified to and is engaged in providing health care. This can include any of the following: an individual who is currently practicing medicine, nursing, or dispensing medicines in Canada or any other person who, in the course of his or her professional activities, may prescribe, recommend or administer a Prescription Medicine or be involved in related treatment or disease management.”
For greater clarity, a direct or indirect payment to a Canadian HCP payment is defined as:
- A payment to the HCP as an individual;
- A payment to the HCP’s incorporated name or business name for services rendered by that HCP; or
- A payment indirectly to the HCP through a third-party intermediary.
Please note: While the shared framework for these disclosures excludes the fees paid by international affiliates of the Canadian company to Canadian HCPs for the services described above, Lilly has chosen to report this information, and includes these sums here.
Any direct or indirect provision of funding to a HCO for the purpose of supporting efforts related to, but not limited to, charitable, educational, and scientific activities.

This provision of funding excludes all funding related to clinical trials.
