In 2009, the “Sunshine Act” was passed as part of the Affordable Care Act, also referred to as “Obamacare.” In this legislation, the Open Payments Database (OPD) was established. In August of 2013, the OPD began recording all payments from industry to physicians to attempt to clarify the relationships between these two groups. The purpose of the OPD was to identify potential conflicts-of-interest between physicians and industry. Any transfers of value greater than $10 are required to be reported through the OPD.

2009 年，“阳光法案”作为平价医疗法案的一部分获得通过，也被称为“奥巴马医改”。在该立法中，建立了开放支付数据库 (OPD)。2013 年 8 月，OPD 开始记录从行业到医生的所有付款，以试图澄清这两个群体之间的关系。OPD 的目的是确定医生和行业之间的潜在利益冲突。任何价值超过 10 美元的转移都必须通过 OPD 报告。
