Answer 1

The Stark Law prevents physicians from making referrals to entities where they have a financial interest, aiming to avoid conflicts of interest in patient care.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Stark Law prohibits a physician from making referrals for certain designated health services to an entity with which he or she (or an immediate family member) has a financial relationship, unless an exception applies. This law is intended to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that medical decisions are made based on the best interests of patients rather than financial incentives provided to the referring physician. Violations of the Stark Law can result in penalties, including fines and exclusion from participation in federal health care programs.
