Steubenville, Ohio-based Trinity Hospital has agreed to pay $1.7 million to resolve allegations of improper financial relationships with two referring physicians in violation of the Stark law, the Justice Department said in an April 2 news release.
Between 2014 and 2022, Trinity Hospital Holding Company allegedly made rental payments for office space to two referring physicians that exceeded fair market value between.
Trinity, an affiliate of Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health, self-disclosed the arrangements to the government following an independent internal investigation and cooperated throughout the resolution process, for which the Justice Department credited the company in the settlement.
