Physician Payments Under PPACA's Sunshine Provisions and State Law
Meeting the Challenges of Healthcare Reform's Reporting Requirements
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar/teleconference with Q&A
Conducted on Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide guidance for healthcare counsel on the new reporting requirements of the physician payment provisions under the new healthcare reform law. The panel will outline best practices to meet the challenges of complying with both federal and state transparency reporting requirements.
Description
Healthcare reform ushered in reporting of payments to physicians and teaching hospitals by drug, medical device, biological or medical supply manufacturers. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's Physician Payment Sunshine (PPS) provisions, payments or transfers must be disclosed.
States are also scrutinizing physician payments, and Vermont and Massachusetts recently established payment reporting requirements. The PPS provisions preempt duplicative requirements but do not prohibit states from requiring additional or different information reporting.
Civil penalties will apply for failure to report as required. In addition, the information reported will be made available on a public searchable website. Companies and counsel must plan and implement procedures to ensure compliance with both federal and applicable state law.
Listen as our authoritative panel of experienced healthcare attorneys examines the new reporting requirements for payments to physicians and teaching hospitals under PPACA, reviews what is required by the states, and offers best practices for meeting federal and state requirements.
