Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stark Law prohibits physicians from referring patients to entities in which they or their family members have a financial interest, unless certain exceptions apply. In this case, the orthopedic surgeon's referral to his brother's radiology facility would violate the Stark Law, assuming the facility falls within the scope of the law.
