Vermont Enacts Revised HCP Disclosure Requirements, Gift Ban
This post was written by Matthew Wetzel.
On June 9, 2009, Vermont’s governor signed S. 48, a new law that revises the state’s current pharmaceutical marketing disclosure requirements. The new statute expands the application of Vermont’s current requirement that pharmaceutical manufacturers annually disclose certain expenditures made in connection to interactions with Vermont health care professionals. Under the new law, the disclosure requirement now also applies to medical device companies. Further, the new law adds a ban on certain items and expenditures that was not included in the previous version. Notably, this gift ban goes into effect July 1, 2009.
