title: Heed the OIG's usual suspects.
abstract: Beware of joint ventures with physicians in which you offer broad management, administrative, or operations services to the venture, and the physicians assume little or no financial risk and provide little more than referrals to the venture. Beware of any arrangement with a business partner that allows you to receive free or below- market goods and services from the partner.
