Specifically, the new law provides that counseling, mental health services, suicide and substance abuse prevention programs offered by hospitals and other providers with a formal medical staff will not violate the Stark law or Anti-Kickback Statute so long as the are set out in a board-approved policy that meets five specific elements described in the statute.
