Stark Law, and what marketing may actually hand a physician

In Episode 2 of our podcast series, we navigate Stark Law's intricacies, focusing on its influence on radiology professionals. Guest star Adrienne Dresevic, a renowned healthcare attorney, aids in shedding light on Stark Law, anti-kickback rules, and effective compliance strategies.

In this episode

Four things worth your time

What Stark Actually Restricts: The shape of the law for radiology professionals, and why it reaches ordinary marketing conduct rather than only ownership arrangements.
The Annual Per-Physician Limit: How the non-monetary compensation cap works, why the figure moves every year, and what it was for the year discussed.
Whole-Office Lunch, Individual Value: Why buying the practice lunch does not sidestep the rule, and how the value received by each physician still has to be counted.
Building the Tracking Habit: What a workable compliance process looks like day to day, and where tools and outside vendors genuinely help.
