The role of the states in combating managed care fraud and abuse.

Professor Krause describes the weapons available to state regulators to address managed care fraud. Although many commentators have focused on recent federal anti-fraud efforts, Professor Krause argues that the states, through the use of a number of existing legal theories, have the most flexibility to combat fraudulent managed care practices. By using these targeted state-based efforts (in contrast to broader federal provisions), state regulators may be able to resolve problems more efficiently and with greater patient benefits.

Kickbacks, courtesies or cost-effectiveness?: Application of the Medicare antikickback Law to the marketing and promotional practices of drug and medical device manufacturers.

This article summarizes the purposes and history of the antikickback law and describes its evolution into a potent weapon against the corruption of medical decision making in the procurement of prescription drugs and medical devices. The article also details a variety of strategies for reducing risks under the law in several key areas of importance to manufacturers. While the purposes of the law are laudable, its current broad interpretation may impede not only corruption, but also benign forms of customer relations and innovative approaches to cost-effective medical care.
