Our colleagues at Epstein Becker Green have issued a client alert: "CMS Issues Final Regulations on Federal 'Sunshine' Law for Manufacturers and GPOs," by Amy K. Dow, Wendy C. Goldstein, Kim Tyrrell-Knott, Sarah K. diFrancesca, David C. Gibbons, Daniel G. Gottlieb, and Natasha F. Thoren.

Following is an excerpt:

On February 1, 2013, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued long-awaited final regulations with a lengthy preamble relevant to Section 6002 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as the "Physician Payment Sunshine Act." This health reform alert provides an overview of the final regulations relevant to applicable manufacturers and group purchasing organizations ("GPOs") and includes "key considerations" for applicable manufacturers and GPOs to contemplate as they prepare to implement the regulations.
