Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Danielle Sloane commented on the recent release of the Senate Finance Committee report critiquing Stark Law, more commonly known as the physician self-referral law, and its lack of flexibility. In a Modern Healthcare article, Danielle commented that, “one would hope this [report] is the signal of more to come,” as Stark continues to evolve with the industry’s shift to value-based care. For Bloomberg BNA, Danielle stated, “[t]he Finance Committee report seems to acknowledge the health-care industry’s frustration with the complexities of the Stark law and the significant risks of inadvertently failing to comply.”
