  • Can a company pay consulting fees and expenses for an HCP to participate as faculty at the company satellite symposium at a third-party organised conference?

Yes. Companies can pay FMV consulting fees to the HCP for providing services at a satellite symposium. If the HCP only attends the satellite symposium, then they can pay their travel expenses and any accommodation and meal costs associated with their attendance at the satellite meeting.

However, if the HCP also attends the third-party conference associated with the satellite symposium, then the company cannot pay any associated travel expenses, with the exception of local transportation between the conference and the satellite symposium and also not for any accommodation and meal costs directly associated with the third-party conference. If a registration fee is required for the speaker to access the satellite symposia Companies may also cover the registration fee.
