ABOUT
Aggregate Spend
Aggregate Spend refers to the process used to aggregate and monitor the total amount spent on organizations and individual healthcare professionals by healthcare manufacturers. The amount spent is aggregated in terms of payments made, honoraria, gifts, travel and other means. Aggregate spend is also known as the Physician Spend Sunshine Law which is an initiative that is aimed to achieve transparency in life sciences industry, the benefits of each physician as well as to limit spend per physician. The law is a body of state and federal legislations. Passing of this law was also in effort to alleviate the conflicts of interest between pharmaceutical and medical device companies and healthcare professionals.
The process requires that manufactures of various medical devices, drugs, biological and other supplies recorded all payments made to physicians including any other transfers of value to teaching hospitals and physicians. Report regarding all this information is required to be produced annually by all the applicable manufacturers and suppliers. The manufacturers are required to include details such as date, nature of payment and the value. Penalties are charged in case of breaching this law by the target parties.
By doing this, accountability of individual physicians and medical device, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies can be achieved. The challenge now is to the life science companies to address the reporting requirements and more so now that state and federal regulatory agency continue to enact legislation that require more auditing of monetary transactions to physicians and organizations involved in healthcare management. As a result many companies are now working more diligently to address compliance and gain more competitive advantage through reputation management among other ways.
