CMS Publishes Program Year 2024 Open Payments Data
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published Open Payments Program Year 2024 data, along with newly submitted and updated payment records for Program Years 2018 – 2023. The data is accessible on the Open Payments Search Tool.
Open Payments is a national disclosure program that promotes transparency and accountability by making information about the financial relationships between certain pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and distributors and certain health care providers available to the public. Through Open Payments, the American public has much more insight into payments and other transfers of value their healthcare providers receive from pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Drug and medical device companies are held accountable by law to report certain financial relationships for the purpose of the Open Payments program. Health care providers have a voluntary role in Open Payments and may review, affirm, or if necessary, dispute data that has been reported about them.
Program Year 2024 Summary
For Program Year 2024, CMS published $13.18 billion in payments and ownership and investment interests reported by applicable manufacturers and distributors to physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and teaching hospitals.
