Medtronic Joins Call for Anti-Kickback Statute Safe Harbor
March 16, 2017
Medtronic has joined AdvaMed in asking for an exception to the federal anti-kickback statute to protect value-based payment arrangements.
The proposed safe harbor would facilitate more flexible payments between device manufacturers and buyers to save money and improve clinical outcomes, Medtronic said in a statement.
AdvaMed recently made a similar request in response to a Department of Health and Human Services request for comments on new safe harbors and special fraud alerts under the federal anti-kickback statue.
