PPAI Urges Industry Practitioners To Take Action

Irving, Texas-based, Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) announced it opposes the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, S.301, recently introduced by Senators Herb Kohl, (D-Wis.) and Charles Grassley, (R-Iowa). The bill requires manufacturers of covered drugs, devices or medical supplies under Medicare, Medicaid or State Children's Health Insurance Program to report to the federal government payments made to physicians, including promotional products provided to them.
