Assume the following facts: James Barnwell is a Medicare beneficiary. He lives in a state that permits physician-assisted suicide (PAS). In accordance with the requirements of state law, Mr. Barnwell's physician assisted him in ending his life by means of a fatal dose of medication. After Mr. Barnwell's death, Mr. Barnwell's physician sent a bill for his final physician visit to the federal Medicare program. Is the physician entitled to compensation for the final visit?
