Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals

In addition, companies are encouraged to seek external verification periodically, meaning at least once every three years, that the company has policies and procedures in place to foster compliance with the Code. The Code provides that PhRMA will identify on its website if a company has sought and obtained such external verification. These lists, in addition to the relevant forms for submitting certifications and external verifications, can be found below.
