Navigating the legal waters of physician referral
1Theodosia Tamborlane, P.C., Mountainside, NJ.
Abstract:
Beginning in 1995, new Federal laws will expand prohibitions against physician referrals of patients to ancillary services in which the referring physician has a financial interest. In addition, proposed changes to the "safe harbor" regulations will allow referrals within group practices and referrals to specialists when the referring physician receives no remuneration. The new regulation also will allow physicians to make certain financial investments in healthcare organizations.
