Open Payment Database

Pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 1278, we are required to provide a notice to our patients regarding the Open Payments database, which is managed by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. The Open Payments database is a federal tool used to search payments made by the drug and device companies to physicians and teaching hospitals. It can be found on the link below: https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov.

For informational purposes only, a link to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments webpage is provided here: https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov

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.
