In December, I wrote about the long reach of the mail and wire fraud statutes in connection with the Theranos case. Those same laws, and several others, can apply to kickbacks. The most recent development came on October 24 with the enactment of the SUPPORT Act, which included the previously separate Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act (EKRA), both of which are aimed at the opioid crisis. Both the crisis and EKRA were hot topics of discussion at the Healthcare Enforcement Compliance Conference held by HCCA in Washington, DC in November 2018.
