The Open Payments system is now available for registration! Within this system, physicians and teaching hospitals can review and dispute data on payments or other transfers of value from pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers that were reported to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for 2018. If physicians and teaching hospitals registered last year, they do not need to register again. The review and dispute period is targeted to begin in April. Click here for additional program information and resources.
If it has been over 180 days since a physician or teaching hospital has logged onto the Enterprise Identity Management System (EIDM), the account was deactivated for security purposes. To reactivate, physicians and teaching hospitals should contact the Help Desk by emailing openpayments@cms.hhs.gov. Live help is available Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. (ET), excluding federal holidays, by calling (855) 326-8366; the TTY line is (844) 649-2766.
The collection and reporting of these data are required under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act (PPSA), part of the Affordable Care Act.
