Overview

In addition to the Stark law, other laws, including the federal antikickback statute and state laws directed at fraud and abuse, are also essential to legal compliance. We must distinguish the Stark law from other federal and state laws designed to combat health care fraud and abuse. Business arrangements permitted under the Stark law may nevertheless be subject to enforcement under other laws, including the federal antikickback law and state self-referral prohibitions.
