More medical device purchasing groups are protesting what they see as some small medical device makers’ attempt to directly shift the burden of a new tax onto healthcare providers.
The Healthcare Supply Chain Assn. last week issued a sternly worded press release chiding some medical device makers for "shifting the burden of the medical device excise tax directly to American hospitals and other healthcare providers."
Manufacturers who attempt to pass the buck could face a boycott of sorts, the group warned.
