Quote of the Day

“The biggest concern for doctors and hospitals [related to rules issued recently under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act] is there will be publicly available data on money flowing to them. It is not a confidential business relationship anymore. The hospital community should embrace transparency because these are generally legitimate relationships that the public has a right to know about. Everyone has looked at this as bagels and pizza, but that’s superficial. There is a lot of support [from manufacturers] for the hospital’s mission.”

— Kathleen McDermott, the former Department of Justice health care fraud coordinator, now with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, told AIS’s Report on Medicare Compliance.
