The kickbacks were in the form of on-call cash payments, free office space and paid trips to the Masters Golf Tournament. The expenses from these actions were later submitted as Medicare claims where the hospital would reap further benefits.

The laws should be amended to include all actions undertaken by the parent or subsidiary companies. The strict nature of the law will reduce cases involving
