  • What is Teva’s policy around Open Payments Reporting (aka Physician Payments Sunshine Act) / For what programs are there Open Payments reporting required?

    As of January 1, 2021, The Physician Payments Sunshine Act (“Sunshine Act”) requires “applicable manufacturers” of drugs, devices, biologicals, or medical supplies covered under Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), to report annually to CMS, in an electronic format, certain payments or other transfers of value to “covered recipients” — certain teaching hospitals listed by CMS each calendar year and (1) physicians (MD, DO, DDS, DDM, DPM, OD, DC); (2) physician assistants; (3) nurse practitioners; (4) clinical nurse specialists; (5) certified registered nurse anesthetists & anesthesiologist assistants; and (6) certified nurse-midwives.

    Certain payments or transfers of value are excluded from reporting under the Sunshine Act. As relevant here, the Sunshine Act excludes from reporting certain “indirect payments” or transfers of value. CMS defined an “indirect payment” as a payment or transfer of value made by a manufacturer to a physician or teaching hospital through a third party or intermediary, in which the manufacturer “requires, instructs, directs or otherwise causes” the third party to provide payment or transfer of value, in whole or in part, to a physician or teaching hospital. In other words, “indirect payments … are made to an entity or individual (that is, a third party) to be passed through to a” physician or teaching hospital. The Sunshine Act does not require manufacturers to report indirect payments where the applicable manufacturer is “unaware” of the identity of the covered recipient during the reporting year or by the end of the second quarter of the following year.

    Under the final regulations, a manufacturer is unaware of the identity of a covered recipient if the manufacturer does not “know” the identity of the covered recipient. The definition of “know” provides that a person has actual knowledge of the information, acts in deliberate ignorance of the information, or acts in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information.

    For non-accredited programs, grant recipients must report all payments made to physicians (MD, DO, DDS, DDM, DPM, OD, DC); physician assistants; nurse practitioners; clinical nurse specialists; certified registered nurse anesthetists & anesthesiologist assistants; and certified nurse-midwives, including honoraria and expenses related to travel, lodging, meals, and tuition subsidies for attendees. This includes faculty and attendees.

    For each payment or transfer of value subject to disclosure, Teva must report the following information:

    • Identifying information including: name and business address
    • Specialty, NPI number, and State License Number
    • Amount, date, and form of payment (e.g., cash, in-kind, etc.)
    • Nature (e.g., consulting fee, food, etc.) of the payment or other transfer of value

    Instructions for reporting to Teva: please use the following template to provide us the requested information within the required timeframe:

    Please send the completed worksheet to the email address listed in the worksheet. Please copy the Medical Education team on the email at tevarequestmanagement@tevapharm.com.

  • What information do I need to provide for chair/faculty honoraria in the Roles and Responsibilities document?

    Teva reviews all honoraria payments to ensure the payments are within Teva’s Fair Market Value (FMV) guidelines. Follow the calculation in the RMS Portal - enter the hourly rate and the number of hours (this includes preparation time and presentation time). Please provide specific detail on the duties for which the chair and faculty are being paid as well as their credentials in order to justify the honoraria payments. You are encouraged to upload a document listing out the various faculty roles and responsibilities by bullet point. Next to each bullet point please list the estimated number of hours associated with each listed role and responsibility. The estimated listed number of hours should total the number of hours allocated in the RMS Portal budget application, "number of hours", column.

    The following is a recommended example to assist with submitting the Roles & Responsibilities document:

  • What is the Teva policy on using Teva logos on my activity materials?

For more information, please refer to www.ACCME.org.
