N.C.P.I.—Crim. 220.47
[SOLICITING] [RECEIVING] ANYTHING OF VALUE IN RETURN FOR REFERRING A PATIENT [TO] [FROM] A [TREATMENT PROVIDER] [LABORATORY]. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with [soliciting] [receiving] anything
of value in return for referring a patient [to] [from] a [treatment provider]
[laboratory].1
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant was a [treatment provider]2 [treatment
facility]3 [recovery residence]4 [third party providing services to any of these
persons or entities].
And Second, that the defendant knowingly5 [[solicited] [received]
anything of value [[directly] [indirectly]] [[in cash] [in kind]]] [engaged in
any split-fee arrangement in any form whatsoever] in return for referring6 a
[[patient]7 [patronage]] [[to] [from]] a [treatment provider] [laboratory].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant was a [treatment provider] [treatment
facility] [recovery residence] [third party providing services to any of these
persons or entities] and knowingly [[solicited] [received] anything of value
[[directly] [indirectly]] [[in cash] [in kind]]] [engaged in any split-fee
arrangements in any form whatsoever] in return for referring a [[patient]
[patronage]] [[to] [from]] a [treatment provider] [laboratory] (nothing else
appearing),8 it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not
so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or both of these things, it would
be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
