Ensuring Compliance with Open Payments: Innovative Solutions from SAI360

Open Payments, mandated by the Affordable Care Act, require certain industries to report payments and other transfers of value to healthcare providers.  Open Payments remain a key focal point now for ethics, governance, risk management, and compliance leaders. Namely, the expansion of the Open Payments Data to include other healthcare providers—in addition to physicians—has significantly enhanced the transparency available to your organization and the public. This review of Open Payments data offers a clear view of the payments made to these healthcare professionals, underscoring the accountability and openness in financial interactions within the healthcare sector.
