New Jersey court sends blow to doctor-owned surgery centers
January 7th, 2008 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
A New Jersey trial court ruling puts most, if not all, of the 200 physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers there in violation of the state’s anti-referral law.
A 1989 law called the Codey Act prohibits doctors from referring patients to an entity in which they have a financial interest, except in certain circumstances, such as for radiation therapy or if the service is provided at the doctor’s medical office.
