"Basically Employees" Isn't a Legal Category (And the OIG Knows It)

from DarshanTalks Podcast · host Darshan Kulkarni

Send us Fan MailStop playing compliance theater. In this episode, Darshan Kulkarni pulls back the curtain on a dangerous trend in the life sciences: the over-reliance on contract sales forces without the legal control to back them up. Many companies believe they’ve "solved" the incentive pay problem, only to realize the OIG hasn't changed its mind since 1998.We break down why the "Pikachu face" won't save you when the government comes knocking, the myth of the "basically an employee" legal status, and why your business model might be a walking Anti-Kickback violation. If you’re paying for results but can’t control the behavior, you aren’t scaling—you’re gambling.Support the showwww.kulkarnilawfirm.com
