Original air date: June 25, 2013

Speakers: Bob Neveu, President at Certify

Abstract

The Sunshine Act requires all U.S. drug and medical device manufacturers to report any gifts and payments made to physicians and teaching hospitals with a value totaling $100 annually or greater, as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Car Act of 2009. Failure to stay in compliance may result in fines ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000 annually.

Companies have been required to capture data as of August 1, 2013, and submitted their first federal reports on March 31, 2014.

Key Takeaways

  • 47% of physicians and compliance officers don’t know about the Sunshine Act
  • Manufacturers must report all spend made to physicians over $10
  • The Act went into effect August 1, 2013
  • Manufacturers are responsible for all data collection and reporting
  • The "CMS" estimated the Sunshine Act would cost companies a total of $269 million in the first year
