Reminder: Open Payments Data Still Available to Review
Every year, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes data on any payments from pharmaceutical and medical device companies to physicians. Ensuring that payment information is accurate helps physicians protect their reputation and increase patient trust, and there is still time to register with Open Payments before the May 15 deadline.
Register online at the CMS website to review your payment data and affirm or dispute it before it is published online.
