Abstract: Section 6002 of the Affordable Care Act requires applicable manufacturers of covered drugs, devices, biologicals and medical supplies to report annually to the Secretary all payments and other transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals (collectively, covered recipients). Section 6002 of the ACA also requires applicable manufacturers and applicable group purchasing organizations (GPOs) to report ownership and investment interests held by physicians or the immediate family members of physicians in such entities. The first reports are due on March 13, 2013 for payments and other transfers of value made, and ownership and investment interests held in CY 2012. We are proposing at section CFR 403.904 to require applicable manufacturers to report information on all payments or other transfers of value provided to covered recipients, and a document outlining the assumptions made when describing payments. We are also proposing in CFR 403.906 to require applicable manufacturers to report information regarding ownership and investment interests held by physicians or their family members, as well as any payments provided to such physicians.
