Pre-Publication Review & Dispute Activities

The Pre-publication review and dispute period provides covered recipients the opportunity to review data attributed to them prior to the data publication. During this time covered recipients may review and affirm that the data is correct or if necessary, they may dispute data that they believe to be incorrect or inaccurate in any way. Simply reviewing the data does not indicate if it is correct. To note that you agree with the data attributed to you, you should take the action of affirming.

*The Program Year 2023 Pre-publication Review and Dispute period ends tomorrow, May 15, 2024.*

Please keep in mind the following reminders:


* *Disputes must be initiated by May 15, 2024* in order to be reflected in the June 2024 data publication. For more information on review and dispute timing and publication, refer to the Review and Dispute Timing and Data Publication Quick Reference Guide [ https://www.cms.gov/OpenPayments/Downloads/Quick-Reference-Guide-Review-and-Dispute-Timing-and-Data.pdf ].


* *CMS does not meditate or facilitate disputes*. Covered recipients should work directly with reporting entities to resolve disputes. Remember to provide your most up to date contact information when initiating a dispute; this is beneficial in case the reporting entity needs to contact you directly to reach a dispute resolution.


* *Registration* in the Open Payments system *is required* in order to participate in review and dispute activities.

Detailed information about the Review and Dispute process is available in the Review and Dispute Tutorial for Covered Recipients [ https://www.cms.gov/files/document/physician-and-teaching-hospital-review-and-dispute-tutorial.pdf ], located on the Resources for Covered Recipients page.

Covered recipient review of the data is voluntary, but strongly encouraged as this ensures the accuracy of the data.
