Bill > S2891

This bill, known as the Fighting the Opioid Epidemic with Sunshine Act of 2018, amends the Social Security Act to require applicable manufacturers to include information regarding payments made to physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other advanced practice nurses in the transparency reports they submit under Section 1128G of the Act. The bill also sets a sunset date for the exclusion of national provider identifiers of covered recipients from the publicly available information, requiring that this information be included starting on January 1, 2020. Additionally, the bill exempts the implementation of these provisions from the requirements of Chapter 35 of Title 44 of the United States Code, which governs federal information policy.
