With all the useful information available on Physicians Practice, it is easy to become overwhelmed.

With this in mind, the tip of the week is a chance to reflect on some of the wisdom found all across the site. In the October 2021 article on eight gifts that violate the anti-kickback statute, Sara Kropf writes the following:

1). Providing free dinners or lunches to physicians

2). Travel expenses paid to physicians

3). Above fair market value agreements for speaking and teaching”
