The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on August 27 released the long-awaited Stark II, Phase III, final rules. The rules, which take effect in early December, relax restrictions on physician recruitment, scale back the “indirect compensation arrangement concept,” and eliminate the “safe harbor” for determining hourly fair market value compensation for physicians. The rules also make a number of other changes and refine provisions included in Phases I and II.
