Over the last few years, several comanagement practices have been challenged as violating the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act. Allegations are that optometric referrals are induced by surgeons providing something of value in return.

This publication from Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today provides guidance to avoid violating federal laws.

Also, please know that PCLI has a rigorous compliance policy to ensure that our comanagement conduct remains within the rules.
