I am targeting for CPPM Exam this May -03 as the second retake. I have purchased the practice exam and unable to justify for the correct answer one of the questions regarding laws.
Can you please help me in understanding the answer for the follwing question.
A hospital provides free office space to providers who admit patients for inpatient procedures. Which law(s) does this violate?
A. Stark Law
B. Anti-Kickback Law
C. Anti-Kickback Law and Stark Law
D. This is standard practice and does not violate any laws
I came to know from the rationale that the answer for this question is option B (Anti Kickback Law).
Can you please help me in understanding why this case would not be violation of Stark law
As per the definition, stark law prohibits physicians from referring medical facilities in which physician has financial interest whether by investment, ownership, and compensation arrangement.
So here the physician is receiving the free office space as an compensation arrangement for admitting patients to inpatient procedures to the hospital. So why is this not an violation of stark law as per the definition.
Can you please help me in understanding the same.
