چکیده
On July 2, 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit delivered what could be the final note in Tuomey Healthcare System’s (“Tuomey”) decade long battle with the government regarding the legality of certain physician compensation arrangements under the Stark law and False Claims Act. In its opinion, the court affirmed a $237,454,195 lower court judgment against Tuomey for violating the Stark law and False Claims Act. The court’s affirmance serves as a sobering reminder to hospitals and physicians of the staggering liability that could arise from noncompliant compensation arrangements.
