New York Times Examines Rx Industry's Gifts To Charitable Research, Educational Organizations

The New York Times on Wednesday examined how some physicians in private practice have established tax-exempt charities into which pharmaceutical and medical device companies are, "with little fanfare, pouring donations" that amount to "millions of dollars" annually. Physicians in most cases establish the charities to conduct medical research, which is often performed by or in conjunction with the physicians who establish them, or to educate physicians through fellowships, which often occur at the practices of the physicians who establish them. Critics maintain that the donations from pharmaceutical and medical device companies might "bias the treatment decisions of physicians," lead to "suspect research findings" or "even risk running afoul of anti-kickback laws," according to the Times. In addition, critics maintain that the donations from pharmaceutical and medical device companies have increased as consulting agreements and other forms of support to physicians "have come under scrutiny from regulators and others worried about the potential conflicts," the Times reports. Legal Issues
According to the Times, because the charities are tax-exempt and "operate mainly under the radar" and "because in many cases each has no more than a few hundred thousand dollars in annual revenue, they tend to escape the attention of the federal and state regulators who oversee charities." Attorneys who specialize in not-for-profit organizations maintain that the donations from pharmaceutical and medical device companies are legal, provided that they are used to fund activities that benefit the public, rather than the physicians who establish the charities or the companies. Vicki Robinson, an attorney for the HHS Office of Inspector General, said pharmaceutical and medical device companies might violate the law in the event they make donations that amount to payments or gifts to physicians who later use or recommend their products. "From a legal perspective, it's really no different," Robinson said (Abelson, New York Times, 6/28).
