FAQ

Does the exemption for reporting payments to medical residents also include payments to “Fellows”?

No. The final rule exempted payments to medical residents from the reporting requirements solely due to operational and data accuracy concerns regarding aggregation of payments or other transfers of value to residents, many of whom have neither a National Provider Identifier (NPI) nor a State professional license. Because these same concerns do not generally apply to physicians in Fellowship training, payments to Fellows are not exempt from the reporting requirements. Key words: Open Payments, Sunshine Act
