Book excerpt: This portfolio examines in detail the federal statute commonly referred to as the Stark law, which places significant restraints on referrals of patients for Medicare-covered designated health services to an entity with which the referring physician (or a member of the physician's immediate family) has a financial relationship. The portfolio analyzes the complex definitions, numerous statutory and regulatory exceptions, and limits on applicability that complicate this statute's seemingly simple prohibition, emphasizing both formal and informal regulatory interpretations as well as the statutory language.
