Answer: What is Anti-Kickback Statute mean?

The Anti-Kickback Statute, codified at 42 U.S. Code § 1320a–7b(b), is an American federal law which imposes criminal and, particularly in association with the federal False Claims Act, civil liability on those that knowingly and willfully offer, solicit, receive, or pay any form of remuneration in exchange for the referral of services or products covered by any federal healthcare program (e.g., the referral of a Medicare patient for an MRI), subject to certain narrow exceptions. In other words, the statute covers both those that provide (or offer) kickbacks and those that receive (or solicit) kickbacks. The statute is among the most important healthcare fraud and abuse laws in the United States. Violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony.

The Anti-Kickback Statute was "enacted to ensure that clinical decisions and medical services are provided to patients based on their medical needs and not on the improper financial considerations of providers." The illegal remuneration covered by the Anti-Kickback Statute includes "anything of value" and is therefore not limited to cash. Thus, the sorts remuneration barred by the Anti-Kickback Statute may be, for example, in the form of consulting fees, gifts (e.g., sports tickets), discounted rent, research grants, and bonuses. The Anti-Kickback Statute is a separate law from the Stark Law; however, the Anti-Kickback Statute may, in many instances, cover conduct within the scope of the Stark Law (and vice versa).

A claim made to the federal government (e.g., a claim to Medicare for a patient visit) that results from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is, by its by nature, a "false claim" under the False Claims Act and thus may result in liability under the False Claims Act (including the False Claims Act's treble damages and civil monetary penalty provisions). Given this interplay between the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act, violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute have formed the basis of a great number of high value civil recoveries in favor of the federal government (and whistleblowers) under the False Claims Act.
