Sunshine Act
|
|
|
Pfizer reports payments and other transfers
of value to health care providers as required by federal and state
transparency laws and implementing regulations. These laws and
regulations require Pfizer to provide government agencies with
information such as a health care provider’s name, address and the type
of payments or other value received, generally for public
disclosure. Subject to further legal review and statutory or
regulatory clarification, which Pfizer intends to pursue, reimbursement
of recruiting expenses for licensed physicians may constitute a
reportable transfer of value under the federal transparency law commonly
known as the Sunshine Act. Therefore, if you are a licensed
physician who incurs recruiting expenses as a result of interviewing with
Pfizer that we pay or reimburse, your name,
address and the amount of payments made currently will be reported to the
government. If you have questions regarding this matter, please do
not hesitate to contact your Talent Acquisition representative.
