The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) is proposing rule changes to streamline the implementation of the Sunshine Act. Section 6002 of the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. “Sunshine Act”) imposes new reporting requirements on financial relationships between medical and pharmaceutical makers and physicians and teaching hospitals. While lauded for its attempts to bring greater transparency to industry financial relationships some wonder whether the implementation methods planned by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would expand the Act beyond the boundaries envisioned by Congress. |
