Good Afternoon,
I am wondering about the Medicare Self-Referral laws. I work in an OBGYN practice and we have our own sonogram & bone density machines and so our patients come into our office to have them done. Does that violate this law? Part of me think that this law refers more to kick-backs etc.. which would not be our case.
One of our physicians was advised that what he is doing is illegal. It just doesn't sound right to me ..
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
