Act added section 1128G to the Social Security Act (Act), which
requires applicable manufacturers and applicable group purchasing
organizations (GPOs) of covered drugs, devices, biologicals, or
medical supplies to report annually to CMS certain payments or
other transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals, as
well as, certain information regarding the ownership or investment
interests held by physicians or the immediate family members of
physicians in such entities. Specifically, applicable manufacturers
of covered drugs, devices, biologicals, and medical supplies are
required to submit on an annual basis the information required in
section 1128G(a)(1) of the Act about certain payments or other
transfers of value made to physicians and teaching hospitals
(collectively called covered recipients) during the course of the
preceding calendar year. Similarly, section 1128G(a)(2) of the Act
requires applicable manufacturers and applicable GPOs to disclose
any ownership or investment interests in such entities held by
physicians or their immediate family members, as well as
information on any payments or other transfers of value provided to
such physician owners or investors. Applicable manufacturers must
report the required payment and other transfer of value information
annually to CMS in an electronic format. The statute also provides
that applicable manufacturers and applicable GPOs must report
annually to CMS the required information about physician ownership
and investment interests, including information on any payments or
other transfers of value provided to physician owners or investors,
in an electronic format by the same date. This information
