Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a federal law that prevents fraud and abuse from happening when one provider may refer to another specific provider and when that provider would then benefit from anything of value.
Physicians are not allowed to accept money or other payment of value for recruitment or referrals of patients. The law doesn't protect providers from being charged with a felony when this happens; instead it specifies the fines associated with this felony. It doesn't protect patients from being referred out, only from physician's receiving a kickback from the referral.
