2018 Open Payments Data Review and Dispute Period
The Open Payments system is available for physicians and teaching hospitals to review and dispute data on payments or other transfers of value from pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers that were reported to CMS for 2018. CMS will publish the data in June unless a dispute is filed. See the tutorial available here. This year’s deadline to dispute is May 15. If physicians and teaching hospitals registered last year, they do not need to register again. The collection and reporting of these data are required under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act (PPSA), part of the Affordable Care Act. Click here for more information and resources.
