Orthofix and Compliance

Global Transparency Reporting

Orthofix recognizes its obligation to facilitate ethical interactions with health care professionals (HCPs), which helps ensure that medical decisions are based on the best interests of the patient.  Collaboration between the medical device industry and HCPs improves patient care and advances technology treatment options.  As a global Company, Orthofix is subject to several transparency laws that regulate our interactions with HCPs and require us to report transfers of value to HCPs to ensure that the interactions are beneficial and appropriate.

Orthofix supports global transparency reporting for our industry. The purpose of transparency reporting is to help the general public better understand the nature and extent of industry and provider interactions. Orthofix complies with laws and industry code requirements by publicly reporting payments, benefits and transfers of value made to HCPs, health care organizations (HCOs) and health care professionals’ associations.

In the United States, there are federal and state transparency laws that require Orthofix to report transfers of value to HCPs.  The federal transparency law (Sunshine Act) requires Orthofix to submit this data through the CMS Open Payments website.  In countries outside the United States, Orthofix participates through the relevant transparency reporting platforms as required by local law or industry code.  Additionally, certain laws require Orthofix to post certifications, as well as, maintain annual transparency data on the company’s website.
