his data set includes records submitted for the 2018 program year that have been matched with total
confidence to a particular covered recipient (i.e., physician or teaching hospital) and displays
information about that recipient. This data set includes the most recent attested-to data for Program
Year 2018 as of May 30, 2019.

The data set contained in the comma-separated value (CSV) file includes only the data that is eligible for
publication. Consult the Open Payments Methodology and Data Dictionary Document for an explanation
of the criteria that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) used to determine what data
to publish. This document can be found on the Resources page of the Open Payments website
(https://www.cms.gov/OpenPayments/About/Resources.html). The Methodology and Data Dictionary
Document also includes information on the data collection and reporting methodology, data fields
included in the files, and any notes or special considerations that users should be aware of.
Each record in the General Payment, Research Payment, and Ownership/Investment files includes a
Change Type indicator field. The Change Type value of NEW indicates that the record is newly reported
by the reporting entity since the last publication and is being published for the first time.
Since Program Year 2018 is the latest program year, there is no Removed and Deleted Records file.
