BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2023 all physicians must provide written notice to patients (including those patients of Shasta Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and Liberty Physical Therapy) on the initial visit about the Open Payments database and retain a copy of this notice in the medical record (which may be stored electronically)
“The Open Payments database is a federal tool used to search payments made by drug and device companies to physicians and teaching hospitals. It can be found at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov.”
For informational purposes only, a link to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments web page is provided above. The federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires that detailed information about payment and other payments of value worth over ten dollars ($10) from manufacturers of drugs, medical devices and biologics to physicians and teaching hospitals be made available to the public.”
