Anti-Kickback Statute

In the United States, there is a special healthcare law (known as the Anti-Kickback Statute) that prohibits the offering of anything to a person that is intended to influence that person to recommend or purchase a healthcare product (including a prescription medication) or service that may be reimbursed by Medicare or Medicaid. This is to ensure that a healthcare provider’s decision about a choice of treatment or product for his or her patient not be influenced by motives of personal gain or enrichment.
