Review Open Payments Data

Industry has submitted data to the Open Payments System on payments made to physicians during 2015.  Beginning in April 2016, physicians have 45 days to review and dispute records attributed to them. CMS will publish the 2015 payment data and updates to the 2013 and 2014 data on June 30.

If you registered last year, you are not required to register again this year.  However, if it has been over 180 days since you logged onto the EIDM, your account has been deactivated for security purposes. Contact the Help Desk at openpayments@cms.hhs.gov or 855-326-8366, Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm.

Registering in the Open Payments System is voluntary, but it is required to review and dispute data attributed to you. Initial registration is a two-step process that takes about 30 minutes.  You should have your National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) number and state license number (SLN) available.  First, register in the CMS Enterprise Identity Management System (EIDM). Then, register in the Open Payments system (accessible via the EIDM).
