Go: PH needs own version of ‘Stark Law’ Senator Bong Go said the Philippines needs its own version of the “Stark Law” in the United States, which prohibits doctors or physicians from referring products or services from companies where they and their close relatives have a financial stake. "We can start crafting our own version of the Stark Law. Dapat bawal po itong mag-refer ang doktor sa mga entities kung saan may financial relationship sila. Katulad nitong Bell-Kenz puro doktor pa din ang mga miyembro," Senator Go said. According to the website of the US Office of the Inspector General (https://oig.hhs.gov/), the Stark Law, or the Physician Self-Referral Law, prohibits physicians “from referring patients to receive "designated health services" payable by Medicare or Medicaid from entities with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship, unless an exception applies.” #PDP #TuloyAngPagbabago #MrMalasakit #BisyoAngMagSerbisyo @senatorbonggo
