Johnson & Johnson Announces Support for Kohl-Grassley Physician Payments Sunshine Act of 2009
Date:5/7/2009

th them to help ensure their bill becomes law in this Congress."

Companies work closely with leading physicians to improve patient care and advance medical progress by collaborating on the development of new surgical devices, medicines and diagnostics. A key component involves partnering with physicians to ensure they are appropriately trained in the safe use of new, innovative therapies.

Properly designed, a single, nationwide approach to reporting physician payments that includes all manufacturers and allows reporting at the operating company level will be more useful to patients than a patchwork of disparate information resources based on different requirements across states and localities.

This decision demonstrates the ongoing commitment of Johnson & Johnson to furthering transparency. The company's pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostic companies publicly disclose on their web sites the grants made for professional education and the charitable contributions made to advocacy groups. These units register clinical trials and disclose results of clinical trials on www.clinicaltrials.gov. Johnson & Johnson companies also publish results of trials in professional journals and present results at scientific congresses.

The Physician Payments Sunshine Act of 2009, which is currently being considered by the Senate Finance Committee, would increase transparency in the relationship between physicians and manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologicals, or medical supplies for which payment is made under Medicare, Medicaid, or the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
