Federal Pharma and Device Physician Gift Law Confusion Reigns Over New Requirements State Laws Still Apply
Product Details
Today, your challenge is to use gifts to build relationships without violating the Federal Physician Payment Sunshine provision.
You’ll need expert guidance — because there’s not always a black-and-white answer as to what’s okay and what isn’t.
For instance, payments less than $10 are exempted — but not always. Prescription drug and device samples are exempted from public disclosure — but not always from reporting.
Meanwhile, since the new federal laws do not preempt stiffer state gift rules, you must clarify what both sets of requirements mean for your marketing and your compliance efforts.
