Open Payments Mobile Applications
In July 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced two free mobile applications (apps) to help physicians and health care industry users track their payments and other transfers of value that applicable manufacturers and applicable Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) will report under Open Payments. Created by a provision of the Affordable Care Act, Open Payments creates greater public transparency about the financial transactions among physicians, teaching hospitals, and drug and device manufacturers.
One app is targeted specifically to physicians (Open Payments Mobile for Physicians) and the other one is for industry, including applicable manufacturers and applicable GPOs (Open Payments Mobile for Industry).
This mobile app can be used by anyone wanting to maintain their own records of payments or other transfers of value received from drug, medical device, biological and medical supply manufacturers as long as they find this tool useful.
For more information on Open Payments and the mobile app, please see the program website at http://go.cms.gov/openpayments
