Open Payments – Happening now
29 Apr 2018Review, dispute, and correction for program year 2017
How Open Payments Works
You may recall that the Open Payments is a federal program, required by the Affordable Care Act, that collects information about the payments drug and device companies make to physicians and teaching hospitals. It tracks payments for things like travel, research, gifts, speaking fees, and meals. It also includes ownership interests that physicians or their immediate family members have in these companies. This data is then made available to the public each year on the Open Payments Website.
Recommended action
