[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 4233883, member: 45783"] Not sure that’s a kickback. Kickbacks are illegal, a Stark law violation. And there’s certainly no 3 drug threshold for an average doc to get paid for prescriptions. Speaking fees are a different topic than kickbacks however, and are legal, but the average family doc in a busy practice doesn’t do them that often. Been to a few of those engagements. Agree with the Pharm sales reps having a big budget. Been to a few fancy dinners from them when I worked in transplant. They also bring the best lunches to the office or hospital dept. Staff knows they’ll prob get a big spread from Teds if a Pharm rep is buying instead of a box of donuts from a local hospice rep. [/QUOTE]
