Presenter: Jake Yates, MBA, CHC, AIP-HC
Detail: On Demand Webinar
Duration: 60 minutes Course Description The Physician Self-Referral Law, commonly known as the "Stark Law," regulates how physicians can refer patients for certain "designated health services."

However, these concepts are equally important for any healthcare provider to understand as a best practice, even if compliance with the law is not a requirement for them. What some may not realize are the intricacies involved in this law and the major consequences of violating it. Violations can result in civil monetary penalties, criminal penalties, civil fines, exclusion from federal healthcare programs, and even the loss of a medical license by a state medical board. In short, physicians, healthcare providers, and their support staff need to understand this law to avoid potential violations.
