Additionally, Randy serves as an expert witness on issues surrounding physician compensation and physician manpower needs. He has served as an expert to a major law firm in a lawsuit against a hospital prosecuted by the Department of Justice on charges that the hospital violated federal anti-kickback laws related to physician recruitment arrangements on behalf of existing medical practices. (The case was the United States of America v. Barry Weinbaum, Tenet Health System Hospitals Inc., Alvarado Hospital Medical Center, Inc.). The case focused on the legality of practices that hospitals commonly use to provide physician recruitment assistance to recruited physicians and affiliated medical practices.
