Civil Monetary Penalty
Section of the
Social Security Act
The hospital may not pay physicians directly or
indirectly for reducing or limiting services to Medicare
and Medicaid patients = $2000 in penalties for each
patient.
Government officials may invoke this statute as a
means of limiting gain-sharing relationships between
physicians and hospitals.
+
GAINSHARING
Physicians receive a share of any hospital savings
resulting from the joint development of new systems and
protocols for more effective care management.
Limited by CMP statute of the Social Security Act
Recently the OIG has permitted some gain-sharing
arrangements under strict guidelines (OIG 01-01)
Anti-Kickback Law

“Prohibits anyone from knowingly and willfully receiving
or paying anything of value in an attempt to influence
patient or business referrals under federal healthcare
programs" = a criminal offense with fines up to $25,000
as well as imprisonment.
THE STARK LAWS
(Civil Penalty)
Rep. Pete Stark
The stark Law prohibits a
physician or immediate
family member from having a
financial interest in an entity
to which the physician refers
patients for designated
health services (DHS)
STARK LAW APPLIES TO:
•Clinical laboratory services
•Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech language
pathology services
•Radiology and other imaging services (not nuclear medicine)
•Radiation therapy (not nuclear medicine)
•Durable medical equipment and supplies
•Prosthetic orthotics devices and supplies
•Home health services
•Outpatient prescription drugs
•Inpatient hospital services
•Outpatient hospital services
•Partenteral and enteral nutrients
Rep. Pete Stark
UNLESS THERE IS AN EXCEPTION:
•Two or more physicians must be legally organized
Pete Stark
•Each doctor must provide at least 75% of his/her
services within the group
•Physicians cannot receive compensation based
directly on the volume or value of designated health
service referrals
MEDICAL
DIRECTORSHIPS

HOSPITALS

Better Called Consultation Agreements
It is important to have a written document specifying
the consulting services that are expected. The
compensation should be determined at a fair market
value.

State Specific
The American health planning Association has
ranked the level of state regulation based on the
scope of the CON laws. High review standards
exist in the mid-Atlantic states and lower regulations
are generally found in the West.
ABN is provided to
Medicare
beneficiaries before
furnishing services
not anticipated to be
covered. This allows
the consumer to
decide whether or
not to undergo the
suggested service.
The antitrust law restricts
physicians from collectively
negotiating with third party
carriers.
“safety zones for exclusive physician network joint ventures
(IPA’s) is applicable if those ventures comprise less than 20% of
physicians in a particular clinical specialty in a geographic
market, and involves the sharing of financial risk among
physicians”
