FHW Attorneys Publish Article on Physician Compensation Under Stark
FHW attorneys David Haron, Sue Nolan, and Mercedes Varasteh Dordeski were recently published in the April 2011 ABA Health eSource. The eSource is a monthly electronic bulletin that is distributed nationwide to all members of the American Bar Association's Health Law Section.
The article, entitled "Stark Law Update: Determining Whether Compensation is Fair Market Value or Takes Into Account the Volume or Value of Referrals", examines three recent cases which have a significant impact on how physician compensation is determined under the federal Stark law (also known as the physician self-referral law).
As the article illustrates, structuring a Stark-compliant arrangement can involve careful analysis of many different factors. For questions about complying with Stark or other federal health care laws, contact Haron, Nolan or Dordeski at (248) 952-0400.
