Searchers with Healthcare experience:

Seeking a document outlining Stark and/or other limitations to productivity-based compensation for physicians. 
Would love to go in and set every doc to a % of their collections but have been advised that this may be non-compliant in some areas. 

Does anyone have anything like this? 
Specific to medicare, M'caid, Tricare, & Commercial

For non-heatlhcare folks- salaried/ per-diem compensation is the most common trojan horse in all of healthcare when it comes to providers but it's also the easiest to execute compliantly.

Bilal - most entities I come across are on some form of productivity-based compensation that varies by the specific sector. This is a generally accepted form of provider compensation, and I don't think there is much complexity to the concept. Yes there are state specifics and you want to be careful about compensating for anything that looks like a referrals for ancillary services (even if it is a bonus pool based on practice/business profitability) so I'd suggest you talk to an healthcare attorney for final word.
Let me know if the following helps at all:
