CMS releases mobile app to help physicians track transfers of value

CMS has released a mobile app, Open Payments Mobile for Physicians, to assist physicians in keeping track of transfers of value received from applicable industries that are covered under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act.

Use of this app is completely voluntary; it is available for users' own information collection and to serve as a personal storage depository only. It does not interact with CMS systems or CMS contractors and cannot be used directly for data reporting. Please note that CMS will not validate the accuracy of data stored in the app, nor will it be responsible for protecting data stored in the app (although users will be prompted to create and use a password when they access the app). The app can be downloaded directly from app stores by searching for “Open Payments Mobile for Physicians.”
