Do pcps get a kickback for refering patients to specialists or prescribing meds? i have heard this and wondered if it was true.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kickback laws: The federal government has put anti-kickback laws and STARK regulations in place to discourage this practice and penalties are stiff.
