The first reports regarding payments or transfers of value to physicians by the health care industry are due in less than a year, as required by the Physician Payment Sunshine Act. Join a panel of health care experts, including Ralph Hall of FaegreBD Consulting, for a complimentary LexisNexis webinar that will examine how the act has progressed in reaching its intended goals and whether it represents either a step forward for patient care or a step back for the industry.

Topics will include:

• The Sunshine Act's intended goals
• The covered manufacturers and GPOs required to report under the Sunshine Act
• Defining, tracking and reporting "payment(s) or other transfer(s) of value" to physicians and teaching hospitals
• The new rules and deadlines related to the act
• Recommended internal compliance strategies for sales staff, vendors, meeting organizers, etc.
• Navigating related state laws and pending state legislation
• Facilitating future treatments, scientific advances and intellectual property protection while complying with state and federal obligations

This webinar is approved for 1.5 hours of CLE credit in most states.
