The Stark Law Explained

The riddles of the Stark Law have become increasingly difficult to solve. Thousands of pages of agency discussion and interpretation, judicial decisions, government and defense briefs, and commentary have tried to decode those riddles. The product of years of research and hands-on legal practice, this book provides a comprehensive and in-depth Stark Law resource that will give readers working in or with the health care industry the keys to decode this riddle, including:

• executives
• administrators
• attorneys
• compliance professionals
• clinicians
• accountants
• valuators
• business consultants
• regulators

  The main body of the book avoids "legalese" to explain the law in plain English. A Glossary of Acronyms is also included for readers new to the area. Much more than a primer, however, the book also provides detailed discussion and analysis for the reader looking for a more nuanced and comprehensive treatment.

  This book is both a teaching tool and reference guide to one of the most important, and complicated, statutes in the current environment of increased government scrutiny of health care regulatory compliance.
