Physician Contract Glossary · Regulatory & Compliance
Ancillary Services
Ancillary services are revenue-generating services a practice offers beyond the physician's professional fee, such as imaging, labs, and infusion.
Ancillary services are the revenue streams a practice runs alongside physician visits: in-office imaging, lab testing, physical therapy, infusion, dispensing. They can make up a large share of practice revenue and a major source of owner income. Because they involve referrals to entities physicians may own, they sit squarely under Stark and Anti-Kickback scrutiny and must be structured to comply.
If a practice's value depends on ancillary revenue, understand whether you share in it and how the ownership is structured for compliance. Ancillary income is real upside, but only if the Stark and Anti-Kickback structure holds up.
