Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following comment on CMS’ addition of records to the database made possible under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which Grassley co-authored and saw through to enactment into law.
“CMS continues to make the database more complete and more helpful for the public. The dollar amount over a short period of time might be higher than many people might have anticipated. There’s a strong public interest in knowing where this money goes and why.”
