More than a summary of the law, this updated edition of an essential monograph offers in-depth critical analysis of this risky, complex area, as well as a wealth of practice pointers and advice for advising clients. Written by leading experts in the interpretation and application of Stark Law, the latest edition of The Stark Law: Comprehensive Analysis + Practical Guide analyzes the following topics:
- The definition of entity
- Split/shared evaluation and management services
- Timeshare agreements
- Valuing goodwill in physician practice acquisitions
- Joint marketing
- Fair market value assessments
- "Stand in the shoes" when contracting with a group
- When a collection of documents can constitute a written agreement
- Developments on the signature requirement
- Revisiting fair market value over the course of a term
- Liability under The False Claims Act with respect to Medicaid
- Bankruptcy trustees and Stark Law
- Updates to the self-referral disclosure protocol
The 2020 supplement covers several recent developments that signal the potential for a more permissive era to come:
- The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued proposed regulations clarifying the agency’s current interpretations of existing regulations and proposing new exceptions that may ultimately expand the scope of permitted activities.
- In the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, CMS issued blanket waivers permitting providers to undertake a range of activities that would not have otherwise complied with the Stark Law.
- CMS issued further clarification of the blanket waivers, helping to clarify certain issues in the Stark regulations more generally.
