Hello,
I work at a lab that accepts Medicare/Medicaid and cash payments. No private insurance. Am I able to pay Sales reps commission? For instance, can I give a rep 1% of non-Medicare revenue in their territory? The way our testing works is a patient needs to work through a doctor and have a doctor's authorization in order to get tested. We then charge the patient when the test is performed.
I understand that compensating for anything insurance related (Medicare, etc.) is not allowed or at best very risky legally, but I'm not sure about cash payments.
Thanks a lot for any guidance or insights.
