TITLE 4Week 4 - Assignment
Stark Law
Case Study: Review this scenario:
Two physicians, Dr. S. and Dr. V., leased a nuclear camera so
they would no longer have to refer their patients to the local
hospital for nuclear imaging. Faced with the prospect of losing
over a third of its $2,274,094 in annual gross nuclear medicine
revenues, the hospital responded by threatening to revoke the
doctors’ admitting privileges. Lengthy negotiations ensued, at
the end of which the hospital agreed to sublease the camera
from the two physicians; the camera remained at the physicians’
offices but other physicians with privileges at the hospital could
use it. Four other local physicians who provided the same or
similar services to patients as Dr. S. and Dr. V. brought a qui
tam action alleging that the sublease violated the Anti-Kickback
and Stark Acts and that the defendants falsely certified
compliance with those laws in connection with claims submitted
to Medicare in violation of the False Claims Act.
