abstract: Hospital-physician financial arrangements often involve transactions that could be construed by the government as illegal remuneration under the federal "anti-kickback" statute. This article discusses some of the questionable types of relationships that arise and explores the government's reaction to these arrangements as manifested by a recent Office of Inspector General management advisory report and proposed and final safe harbor regulations.
