Ill. Admin. Code tit. 77 § 1235.200
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 43, October 25, 2024
One of the stated goals of the Act is to prohibit patient referrals to entities providing health services in which the referring health care worker has an investment interest. [ 225 ILCS 47/5 ] This provision can be tempered through the use of an exception for community need. A community need can be segmented into two principal components: need for a particular service and the existence and availability of alternative financing. An applicant for a community need exception must document compliance with both principal components.
