Reporting Entities: Open Payments Data Correction Continues through May 30th

The additional 15-day correction period ends tomorrow, May 30, 2020. This period is dedicated for the resolution of outstanding disputes initiated by physicians, teaching hospitals and principal investigators.

It is expected that disputes will be resolved in good faith prior to the May 30th deadline. Payment records with disputes that remain unresolved after May 30th will be published as disputed.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) does not mediate disputes. It is important to work directly with the physician or teaching hospital to resolve any disputes.

Data Correction Resources

Step-by-step instructions regarding the data correction process are available on the Resources page of the Open Payments website.
The Review and Dispute Timing and Data Publication Quick Reference Guide provides information on how the timing of dispute and resolution affect the published data.
