Buchanan's Response to the New Government Mandate: A One-Stop Shop Counseling Program for State and Federal Compliance
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney has recently launched its Buchanan Compliance Counseling Program, which provides a cost-effective way to stay abreast of the Federal Sunshine Act and related state laws that apply to the marketing and sale of pharmaceutical, medical device and biologic products.
Marketing and selling FDA-regulated products is an increasingly complex endeavor. In addition to complying with federal requirements, pharmaceutical, biologic and medical device companies are required to comply with state laws that impose additional expenditure tracking and reporting requirements.
This year, we anticipate adoption of a final rule to implement the Federal Sunshine Act. Existing clients already have the benefit of an executive overview of the proposed rule, released in December 2011. Upon release of the final rule, clients who subscribe to our program will receive an executive overview of that final rule, as well as analysis of how the preemption provision of that law impacts existing state law obligations.
This innovative program is an economical way to tackle the challenges that the Federal Sunshine Act and related state laws pose. For more information about the Buchanan Compliance Counseling Program, contact: Linda Pissott Reig at linda.reig@bipc.com or 973-424-5618.
