Yeah, but I'd argue this really doesn't increase the scope. From my reading of the article, which is incomplete, we need a few more bits of info to make a call here, but I'm pretty sure these two organizations were operating in a grey area with respect to consults and referrals in this case. Personally, I think the policies they had, (maybe still have?), in place put certain care providers at enormous risk. But it really is on the doctors to make sure they are doing everything right. The greyness here, again, only my opinion, but I think the greyness led to confusion. But, yeah, confused or not, the doctors are on the hook for it.
