Sunshine Act

Physician Payments Disclosure

The Federal Open Payments program, often referred to as the Sunshine Act or "Open Payments," mandates that manufacturers of products under Medicare or Medicaid must annually disclose payments or other transfers of value given to U.S. physicians and teaching hospitals—known as “Covered Recipients”—to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”).

 

  • Our Collaboration: Our work with physicians in innovating, applying, and educating on our product portfolio may lead to payments that fall under Open Payments' purview.

 

  • Potential Payments: Such payments might encompass consulting fees for product enhancement, fees for medical education delivery, costs covering meals, travel, lodging, research-related expenditures, procurement of intellectual property rights, and royalties tied to product development.

 

  • Commitment to Transparency: We stringently follow the tracking and reporting directives set by the Open Payments initiative. This data is available to the public on www.cms.gov/openpayments.
