Summary

Existing law prohibits a person or business from referring or recommending a person for any form of medical care or treatment for profit and creates a presumption that the referral or recommendation is for profit if a fee or charge is imposed. Existing law makes a violation of this provision a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment in county jail for not longer than one year, or of a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
