Title: Shared Risk Exception to the Safe Harbor Provisions | |
Abstract: This final rule establishes a new safe harbor for risk-sharing arrangements under the Federal health care programs' anti-kickback provisions. The rule sets forth an exception from liability for remuneration between an eligible organization and an individual or entity providing items or services in accordance with a written agreement between these parties. The rule allows remuneration between an organization and an individual or entity if a written agreement places the individual or entity at "substantial financial risk" for the cost or utilization of the items or services that the individual or entity is obligated to provide. | |
