The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is seeking physician input on the Open Payments program.
The agency signaled its intent to gather information in its proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2017 and will host a conference call for that purpose on August 2.
The agency already has released a slide presentation to be used during the call that highlights the information being requested, including whether the payment categories are inclusive enough; how many years of payment data is relevant; whether reporting entities should pre-vet data before reporting to the Open Payment system; the adequacy of the definition of a covered recipient teaching hospital; whether reporting entities should be able to submit data continuously throughout the calendar year; how mergers affect reporting; clarity on reporting of ownership and investment interests; clarity on the definition of physician-owned distributors; and clarity on ways to streamline the reporting process.
Details for participating in the conference call can be found here.
