The expectations of the ACCME are that:
- Written agreements for commercial support will include the accredited provider and commercial supporter.
- These agreements will also include the name of the joint provider or third party who will receive/disburse the funds.
- The execution and agreement must be by both the accredited provider and ineligible company who provides the commercial support. Including the joint provider/third party is fine, but they are not in a position to execute or agree in place of the accredited provider.
- Written agreements of this nature must be executed before the activity takes place.
