Stark law  

Definición

  • The Federal Physician Self-Referral Act is commonly referred to as “Stark.” The Stark law, so named for its congressional proponent, Congressman Pete Stark, is a prohibition against “self-referrals” in the health care system. Specifically, Stark prohibits a physician from making referrals to an entity for certain designated health services if that physician or a member of the physician's immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship with that entity and payment for those services will be made by Medicare or Medicaid.
