The changes to the Anti-Kickback Statute make it easier to enter into value-based care arrangements, especially if providers take full risk. The exceptions create flexibility in how physicians are compensated. The exceptions don’t require setting compensation in advance, consistency with fair market value or determined in a way that doesn’t take the volume or value of physician referrals into account. But there is a commercial reasonableness standard for pay, and the exceptions apply to both Medicare and non-Medicare beneficiaries.
