Healthcare Law: OIG Disapproves Two Anesthesia Service-ASC Arrangements

In an important June 1 advisory opinion (Number 12-06), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Inspector General (OIG) declined to approve two different proposed arrangements between an anesthesia services provider and ambulatory surgical centers (ASC). The OIG ultimately concluded that the proposed transactions "could potentially generate prohibited remuneration under the anti-kickback statute and that the OIG could potentially impose administrative sanctions" if the requisite intent were present.
