Bill > A5790

This bill removes an exemption from a law regulating patient referrals by healthcare practitioners. The existing law prohibits practitioners from referring patients to healthcare services in which they or their immediate family have a significant beneficial interest, with some exceptions. This bill deletes one of those exceptions, which allowed referrals for certain intraoperative monitoring services during neurosurgical procedures performed in a hospital. The bill also adds new exceptions for referrals made under certain alternative payment models approved by the Department of Health. Overall, this bill aims to further restrict the ability of healthcare practitioners to refer patients to services in which they have a financial interest.
