cflorez:
Thank you all for your great responses. I loved your detailed answers and examples. It helps me with the bigger picture.

cflorez:
Is there something I need to know about kickbacks. I don't want to do anything illegal.

Michele:
Linda can answer this better than I, but I know you cannot offer a percentage or anything that appears to be fee splitting in any way.  For example, a billing service cannot assist a provider in attracting new clients because the billing service directly benefits from the provider getting new clients.  I don't know the legal verbage.

PMRNC:
There a million and one regs having to do with anti-kickback, stark, etc.. not sure which if any apply. What I referenced was a form of kickback IF The billing company taking the referal gives you a fee based on revenue in any way. I personally don't charge or pay referral fees as it's part of networking. I've given clients and I've received them, to me that's cost of business and networking. If a fee is to be arranged, to be safe, I would go a flat rate, a gift of some sort but would NOT do anything in regards to the practice receivables.
