- riahi 13y agoThis is actually illegal. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_Law
- orky56 13y agoI've seen physicians disclose their relationship with said facility, which may or may not be used as a casual referral. I think the communication of the conflict of interest is the important issue here.
