Stakeholder Conference Call: Sunshine Act Exemption for CME

7/8/2014

 
Please join the CME Coalition for a FREE CONFERENCE CALL on Wednesday, July 16 @ 2:00 pm ET to discuss the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) recent proposal regarding the Physician Payment Sunshine Act. On July 3rd, CMS issued a proposal that would revise an earlier Final Rule on the Sunshine Act – one that created a narrow, but vitally important exemption for the reporting of payments related to certain accredited CME programs.
Join us on this informational conference call to discuss:
  • How CMS’ proposal would impact the reporting exemption for speakers at continuing education events;
  • The impact of the proposal on CMS’ special rules regarding the reporting of food and beverage;
  • Analysis regarding the treatment of payments or transfers of value to attending physicians at continuing education programs; and
  • How those impacted by the proposal should engage in the process to ensure the exemption for CME is maintained through the rulemaking process.
Presenters on next week’s call will include leading experts in health policy law and the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, including:
  • Andrew Rosenberg J.D., Senior Counsel, CME Coalition; and
  • Abraham Gitterman J.D., Healthcare Associate, Arnold and Porter.
To RSVP to this free conference call, please e-mail Jessica Golibart at jgolibart@thornrun.com with your name and organization. The call-in information will be provided in response to your RSVP.
