  1. Deleted  the provision exempting certain payments to CME providers from the reporting requirements;
  2. Added  three new forms of payment designations;
  3. Made  the reporting of the marketed name of a covered device no longer optional; and
  4. Deleted the definition of covered device.

These changes will be effective January 1, 2016, with reports to CMS in 2017.
