Fee-splitting


The AAFP is firmly opposed to the practice of fee-splitting. The AAFP defines fee-splitting as any division of fees without the full knowledge of the patient and with the intent of influencing the choice of physician, consultant, assistant or treatment on any other basis than that of the greatest good of the patient.
