Joe Wolfe, Attorney, Hall Render Killian Heath & Lyman PC, speaks with Charles Oppenheim, Partner, Hooper Lundy & Bookman PC, about the current landscape surrounding the Physician Self-Referral Law, also known as the Stark Law. They discuss why the Stark Law is so complex and the kinds of issues that attorneys face in this area, how CMS has introduced more flexibility under Stark and ways that health care organizations can incorporate these new flexibilities into their contracting policies, best practices for analyzing arrangements that may overlap with other areas of the law, CMS’ efforts to clarify the “Big 3,” and issues related to value-based exceptions. Charles is the co-author of AHLA’s The Stark Law: Comprehensive Analysis and Practical Guide, Eighth Edition. From AHLA's Fraud and Abuse and Hospitals and Health Systems Practice Groups.
