As part of its recent rulemaking process, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a new exception to the Physician Self-Referral Law (the Stark Law) to protect arrangements where limited remuneration is provided to a physician in exchange for items or services provided by the physician (the Limited Remuneration Exception).

CMS indicated that the new exception is due, in part, to the agency’s review of numerous arrangements submitted for self-disclosure through CMS’s self-referral disclosure protocol (SRDP).
