Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The Anti-Kickback Statute makes it a criminal offense to knowingly and willfully offer, pay, solicit, or receive any remuneration to induce or reward referrals of items or services reimbursable by a federal health care program. Where remuneration is paid purposefully to induce or reward referrals of items or services payable by a federal health care program, the Anti-Kickback Statute is violated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 created the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMI) to help transform federal and state healthcare programs by changing and redesigning the healthcare system. Ultimately, CMI intends to develop better healthcare, improve health, and reduce costs for beneficiaries to enhance the delivery of care for all recipients.
