In a recent article about the Medical Device Tax published in the Boston Business Journal, Tom Sommer, president of MassMEDIC, remarks “Some (device companies) will pass it on to hospitals with a line at the bottom of the bill highlighting how much of the cost will go toward the excise tax. Others will absorb the loss through cuts elsewhere. There are companies that are reducing the costs in other areas, most notably in research and development,” he added. “Also, they are looking at off-shoring manufacturing and looking at reducing the workforce… They don’t have any options.”
But there are ways to help offset the lost revenue.
