GPO Website Exposes Firms That Are Passing Device Tax On To Customers-thegraysheet: Hospital group purchasing organizations are using a new website to fight against manufacturers that they claim are passing the cost of the medical device excise tax on to customers in the form of price increases. The site, called Medical Device Tax Watch (www.devicetaxwatch.com), was announced Feb. 28 by the Healthcare Supply Chain Association. As of the evening of Feb 28, it lists 43 companies that the group says are “shifting the burden of the medical device excise tax ... directly to American hospitals and other healthcare providers.”
