Opinion 8.0321 - Physicians’ Self-Referral Business arrangements among physicians in the health care marketplace have the potential to benefit patients by enhancing quality of care and access to health care services.

Such arrangements can undermine a robust commitment to professionalism in medicine as well as trust in the profession
