Above totals represent money paid by American Medical Association to each lobbying firm for lobbying services on all issues — spending per issue area is not disclosed.

Companies report their total lobbying expenses as a lump sum, which includes both in-house lobbying expenses and amounts paid to (and reported by) lobbying firms that they employ. We calculate a company's in-house lobbying expenses by subtracting the total income reported by the lobbying firms that it employs from the company's total reported expenses.

Filers may round their amounts to the nearest $10,000. An amount of $0 means "Less than $5,000."
