Health care is among the most heavily regulated industries in the country with providers having to navigate the complex and ever-changing maze of federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, industry guidance, judicial opinions, enforcement actions and more. The Stark Law. The Anti-Kickback Statute. Civil Monetary Penalties. The False Claims Act. EKRA. These are just a few of the laws that significantly affect how providers structure and operate their businesses.
