The teaching hospital list identifies institutions considered teaching hospital covered recipients for the purposes of Open Payments reporting in Program Year 2027.
This list should only be used for Program Year 2027, covering the data collected from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027.

The Open Payments Key (de minimis) Thresholds for reporting have been adjusted for inflation.
Small payments or other transfers of value of less than $14.31 do not need to be reported, except when the total annual value of all payments or other transfers of value to a covered recipient exceeds $143.01 for Program Year 2027.
These amounts only apply to Program Year 2027, covering data collected from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027.
You can access the Key (de minimis) Thresholds on the Open Payments Data Collection page.

Post-Deadline Submission
If you have reportable payments or other transfers of value from calendar year 2025 or prior that have not yet been reported to CMS, those records must be submitted immediately upon confirmation of the error or omission (see 42 CFR §403.912(h)). This means that if your organization has not submitted all of its required records, your reporting entity should do so as soon as it is able.
CMS recommends using the assumptions document to communicate your organization’s methodologies or any circumstances for unusual reporting, such as records that are attested after the submission window. Assumptions are documented in a free-form text field during the attestation process and are not made available to the public.
Record Resubmission
When making changes to records some may need to be deleted and re-uploaded, while other changes only require resubmission.
If fields that identify the record’s covered recipient or principal investigator(s) need to be changed in a record that is in a “ready for attestation” or “attested” status, the original record must be deleted and then re-submitted as a new record.
Deleting attested records and submitting new records after the attestation deadline has passed, will remove the original records from publication and will make the newly submitted records eligible for review and dispute again. The attester is encouraged to use or amend the assumptions statement to note when records have been deleted and re-submitted, including if or when those records were re-submitted after the submission deadline. Records that are deleted need to have a reason for deletion included, and records that are deleted and resubmitted need to be linked to the deleted record.
