The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued the attached request for information (RFI) seeking recommendations on how to address the burdens of the physician self-referral law – also known as the Stark Law – as well as feedback on how the law impedes care coordination. CMS notes it is particularly interested in information about the structure of arrangements between parties that participate in alternative payment models or other novel financial arrangements; the need for revisions or additions to exceptions to the physician self-referral law; and definitions of terminology related to alternative payment models and the physician self-referral law.
Responses to the RFI are due by Aug. 24. Additional information is available on CMS’ website.
