Transparency in healthcare is increasingly important, and among pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, disclosure of financial relationships with physicians is a matter of law via Open Payments CMS. Therefore, it is imperative to validate all meal, travel, and consulting fee data before publishing it. It is also critical for physicians to understand the Open Payments system so that they can confirm what has been reported concerning them as well. Trust between patients, providers, and the industry is built upon reliable data. Keep track of relevant deadlines to prevent inaccuracies appearing in public records.
