Code of Conduct - Question & Answers
7a. Gifts
- April 2005
Question 1:
I run a patient support program for a Pharma client
for which the patients are asked to submit proof that they
are on the medication on a yearly basis to maintain eligibility
for the program. As a thank you for submitting their proof,
my client would like to send a small premium with the name
of the medication on it. Is this acceptable? Upon discussing
with PAAB, their response was to forward the question to RX&D.
Response:
This practice is not acceptable under section 7 of the Code,
as it will have a bearing on the compliance aspect of the
program in question.
