Marketing
What it isn’t:
1. Refill reminders for drugs or biologics (but only if any
payment received is reasonably related to costs)
2. Treatment and health care operations purposes UNLESS
Covered Entity receives payment for making
communication
What it is:
- Treatment- Describing a covered service
or a provider in a network- Communications about treatment alternatives
Communication about a product or service that
encourages recipients of the communication to purchase or
use the product or service
