The Open Payments system registration is a voluntary process for physicians and teaching hospitals. However, it becomes a requirement if you want to review, and possibly dispute data submitted about you by applicable manufacturers and applicable group purchasing organizations (GPOs).
If you plan to review the information that has been submitted, we encourage you to first review the helpful tips below to ensure that your registration experience is as efficient as possible.
- Use Internet Explorer versions 8-10, Chrome or Firefox browsers. Currently the Open Payments system is not optimized for the Safari browser;
- Understand that registration for physicians and teaching hospitals for this first reporting year requires registering in the CMS Enterprise Portal and then in the Open Payments system; and,
- Consider answering “optional” questions during the registration process (skipping these questions can slow your registration).
To understand the review and dispute process, visit the Dispute and Resolution web page on the Open Payments website.
