Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Generally, these statutes state that anyone who knowingly or willfully solicits, receives, offers, or pays directly or indirectly any remuneration in return for Medicare business is guilty of a criminal offense.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Proximate causation or legal causation usually turns on foreseeability and whether it is fair to impose damages on a defendant. It tends to be a retrospective analysis.
