By Sean McKenna

Dallas partner Sean McKenna was featured on the Checkmate EM podcast hosted by Tony Baker. During this episode, McKenna discusses how Physicians Payment Sunshine Act promotes transparency, reduces conflicts of interest, and informs patients about financial relationships between healthcare providers and companies. The Open Payments Portal collects and shares this information. However, there are issues with compromised positions and delayed information. Listen to how they address these issues and why it is especially important for healthcare providers around the country.

He focuses his practice on healthcare-related legal matters and has represented companies, clinicians, and executives in white collar criminal, civil False Claims Act and qui tam cases and investigations.
