President, American Medical Association

“The American Medical Association (AMA) greatly appreciates that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the Department of Health and Human Services are proposing to modernize and clarify the regulations that interpret the Stark Law and anti-kickback statute. While the AMA is assessing the full scope of today’s proposals, we are pleased to see that the administration has acknowledged a need for policy revisions in response to potential barriers that impede the delivery of patient-centric care.
