Deadline Nears to Review Payments Data Before Public Release

Physicians have until May 20, 2015, to review and dispute reports regarding their financial interactions with drug and medical device manufacturers reported under the Open Payments (Sunshine Act) program. Disputes initiated by May 20 will be flagged as such. CMS states that data can still be disputed after public release, but corrections will be held until the next Open Payments system update.
