The Affordable Care Act has survived Supreme Court scrutiny and the physician payment sunshine provisions are set for implementation beginning in January 2013. As the timeframe for implementation narrows and final regulations still await reporting companies, pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology firms are primed to implement or refine approaches to recording, tracking, and reporting aggregate payments.

While money spent, per physician, on gifts, honoraria, consulting fees, food, research, continuing medical education and clinical investigator payments will be made public at the federal level for the first time in 2014, many states have existing requirements that have provided testing grounds for methodologies over the last several years. This audio conference presentation focuses on the myriad challenges facing firms at all stages of implementation, including selecting a vendor for your reporting solution, preparing your systems and implementation, auditing and monitoring.
