The Physician Payment Sunshine Act has been delayed. The legislation had a deadline of October 1st but was delayed beyond the deadline. This act would require manufacturers to report any payment to physicians over $10. The goal of this act is to “shine light” on every aspect of a manufacturer or supplier’s financial relationship with physicians.
Is a $10 payment worth reporting? Could the limit be increased so as to decrease the amount of paperwork?
