Vyera sales and marketing personnel interact with healthcare professionals to provide them with information about Vyera products and other relevant educational or scientific topics. Vyera believes that these interactions provide educational value to healthcare professionals and help benefit patients. In connection with certain of these interactions, Vyera may provide promotional materials, or educational items intended to benefit a patient or related to a healthcare professionals™ practice. Vyera may also on occasion offer modest meals to healthcare professionals in connection with educational presentations, which meals are secondary to an educational discussion. On occasion Vyera may approve the distribution of an educational item to a healthcare professional, which educational item is designed primarily for the education of patients or healthcare professionals and is not of substantial value, and does not have a value to the healthcare professional outside of his or her professional responsibilities. Vyera's Comprehensive Compliance Program is designed to ensure that these activities are conducted in lawful manner.
Annual Spend Limit
Subject to the California law, Vyera has determined that the annual aggregate limit on covered promotional expenditures in California is set at $700.00 per covered healthcare professional for each calendar year. This limit may be revised by Vyera from time to time. It is important to note that this annual dollar limit is an upper limit and is not meant to be a representation of the average value of gifts, promotional materials, items or activities that Vyera may provide generally to a healthcare professional. The average could be a lower amount. In accordance with the law, certain items and payments are excluded in determining whether the annual limit has been met. The annual limit does not include the value of:
- Drug samples provided to healthcare professionals intended for free distribution to patients;
- Financial support for continuing medical education forums;
- Financial support for health educational scholarships; and
- Payments for legitimate professional services, including professional speaking, advising, consulting, training or market research services, that are based on the fair market value of the services provided.
