Sunshine - How to Weather the Storm of Federal and State Regulations

Symposium - Long Beach, CA, USA

Industry experts from Compliance Implementation Services (CIS) and Advanced Orthopaedic Solutions (AOS) will discuss the key Sunshine Act regulations and lead you through a practical application that aligns with Federal and State Compliance and Reporting requirements.

We've entered a new era of non-compliance enforcement as regulators shift attention from pharmaceutical manufacturers and step up investigations and settlements with medical device and diagnostics companies. With the increased risk of individual liability as well as corporate liability, companies must improve compliance processes and strategies to meet the new standards of an effective corporate compliance program. Paramount to the compliance program is adherence to "The Physician Payment Sunshine Act," which requires applicable manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologicals, or medical supplies to report annually certain payments or transfers of value provided to physicians or teaching hospitals ("covered recipients"). The purpose of this law is to provide patients with transparency into the relationships between healthcare providers and life science manufacturers.

By attending this breakfast, you will learn key insights and best practices from medical device companies who have successfully implemented the Federal and State compliance and reporting requirements.
