The Stark Law: Comprehensive Analysis and Practical Guide is not just a summary of the law. It remains an in-depth critical analysis of Stark Law authority, interpretation, and enforcement. Sharing a wealth of insight, the authors provide an analytic overview to assessing Stark Law compliance questions, before addressing the legal effect of the regulations and the regulatory process, and analyzing the implications of various federal cases and enforcement activity. Throughout the book, they include practical guidance for advising clients on complying with the current state of the law and regulations, as well as a look at what future direction the law might take. The authors highlight themes that emerge in the regulations, identify key definitions and interpretive changes, illuminate problem areas, and suggest guidance for navigating each of them.
Since the Seventh Edition of The Stark Law: Comprehensive Analysis and Practical Guide was published, the Stark Law has continued to evolve. The Supplement to the Seventh Edition, included with your purchase, identifies and briefly explains the highlights of this evolution to ensure that readers remain current. Updates on fundamental issues are addressed, including statutory, regulatory, and sub-regulatory changes and enforcement activity, as well as post-pandemic considerations. Appendices focus on CMS commentary and Stark Law settlement activity, along with updates on state self-referral prohibitions.
