What this bill would do

The Open Payments Expansion Act amends the Social Security Act to require pharmaceutical and device manufacturers, as well as applicable group purchasing organizations, to publicly disclose payments made to patient advocacy organizations. These entities must submit the name of the organization and the payment amount to the Secretary electronically. Reporting is required starting March 31, 2027, and every 90th day of the calendar year following. The bill covers both direct and indirect transfers of value.
