The Anti-Kickback Statute was passed by Congress in the 1970s to reduce the overuse of government-reimbursed medical services. It attempts to eliminate fraud, abuse, and waste of medical services by outlawing the incentive of personal gain when referring patients for government-funded services. Although safe harbors were written into the law to maintain transactions beneficial to society, they require strict adherence. Anti-Kickback Statute violations are subject to the whistleblower provision of the False Claims Act, and violations can yield significant civil and criminal penalties.
