Splitting Fees Or Splitting Hairs? Fee Splitting And Health Care - The Florida Experience, Richard O. Jacobs, Elizabeth Goodman Jan 1999

Splitting Fees Or Splitting Hairs? Fee Splitting And Health Care - The Florida Experience, Richard O. Jacobs, Elizabeth Goodman

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Attorneys Jacobs and Goodman review the prohibitions against fee-splitting under Florida law and argue that Florida and other states need a clear statutory definition of prohibited activities. In addition, the authors argue that the Florida Board of Medicine has applied the prohibition against fee-splitting arbitrarily and in contrast to legal precedent set by the Second District Court of Appeals. Finally, the authors suggest that Minnesota provides clear legislative guidance on the issue of fee-splitting and that the approach adopted by Minnesota is more practical in today's complex health care reimbursement environment.

The Role Of The States In Combating Managed Care Fraud And Abuse, Joan H. Krause Jan 1999

The Role Of The States In Combating Managed Care Fraud And Abuse, Joan H. Krause

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Professor Krause describes the weapons available to state regulators to address managed care fraud. Although many commentators have focused on recent federal anti-fraud efforts, Professor Krause argues that the states, through the use of a number of existing legal theories, have the most flexibility to combat fraudulent managed care practices. By using these targeted state-based efforts (in contrast to broader federal provisions), state regulators may be able to resolve problems more efficiently and with greater patient benefits.
