Physician Payment Sunshine Act: Washington Legal Foundation Webcast on Sunshine; AdvaMed Sunshine Workshop

With less than 90 days away from the beginning of payment reporting under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act (see our counter to the right), stakeholders are gearing up for training, education, compliance and implementation. 

The Washington Legal Foundation (WLF) is hosting a Web Seminar on May 14, 2013, from 12:30 – 1:30pm.    The WLF has been at the forefront of keeping government regulations in check.

The presenters include James C. Stansel and Meenakshi Datta, both partners at Sidley Austin LLP. 

This interactive program will examine the recently issued final rules implementing the Physician Payment Sunshine Act.  The speakers will assess

• Strategies “applicable manufacturers” can use to successfully pursue compliance;
• How the rules interrelate with similar requirements at the state level; and
• Whether increased reporting will impact pharmaceutical and medical device research and  development.
