HLB Lawyers Author AHLA’s The Stark Law: Comprehensive Analysis and Practical Guide, Eighth Edition

The Stark Law: Comprehensive Analysis and Practical Guide is not just a summary of the law. It remains an in-depth critical analysis of Stark Law authority, interpretation, and enforcement. Sharing a wealth of insight, the authors provide an analytic overview to assessing Stark Law compliance questions, before addressing the legal effect of the regulations and the regulatory process and analyzing the implications of various federal cases and enforcement activity. Throughout the book, they include practical guidance for advising clients on complying with the current state of the law and regulations, as well as a look at what future direction the law might take. The authors highlight themes that emerge in the regulations, identify key definitions and interpretive changes, illuminate problem areas, and suggest guidance for navigating each of them.

The Stark Law: A Comprehensive Analysis and Practical Guide has been updated, revised, and expanded to reflect the remarkable changes that have occurred since the previous edition and its supplement were published, including the impact of Loper Bright on CMS interpretations of the Stark Law; changes to the voluntary self-referral disclosure protocol; recent advisory opinions, such as on advanced practice practitioners; limits on the usefulness of survey data for determining fair market value of physician compensation; potential Stark Law issues with MSO/ “Friendly” Physician Models; applications of Stark Law to rural emergency hospitals and physician-owned hospitals; what changes future courts may have in store; and more.
