Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That Section 54-278, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended
and reenacted as follows:
§ 54-278. No surgeon or physician shall directly or indirectly share
any fee charged for a surgical operation or medical services with a physi-
cian who brings, sends or recommends a patient to such surgeon for
operation, or such physician for such medical services; and no physician
who brings, sends, or recommends any patient to a surgeon for a surgical
operation or medical services shall accept from such surgeon or physician
any portion of a fee charged for such operation; provided, however, that
nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting the members of
any regularly organized partnership of such surgeons or physicians from
making any division of their total fees among themselves as they may
determine or a group of duly licensed practitioners of any branch or
branches of the healing arts from using their joint fees to defray their joint
operating costs. Any * person violating the provisions of this section shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor.
