For this week's assignment, I want you to do an in$-$depth study of the Stark Physician Self$-$Referral Law and the Anti$-$Kickback Statute $($introduced in Chapter $4,$ starting at page $109$ through page $113).$ I have also attached Internet links and other selected readings that you can use to research the regulations in detail. After studying the Stark Law and the AntiKickback Statute, give your opinion on the following question:

As the finance manager of a group of primary care physicians, you have been asked to write a brief summary for an upcoming partner board meeting. The physicians want a brief comparison of the Stark Law verses the Anti$-$Kickback Statue. They would also like to know your opinion as to which of the laws would apply if they decided to open an in$-$house laboratory for the practice. Give your detailed summary and opinion, based on your review of the two laws. Be detailed in your post, and make sure to cite at least two sources that your summary and opinion are based on$.$

Be detailed in your answer and cite at least two sources you used in answering the question. $($Note: This is our first course "assignment" where your post will be more detailed than a regular
