The expression is a (strange) combination of two Stark categories. The link to the Stark law would be lost if you translate. You would be well advised to refer to the law in a footnote.

From http://www.aamc.org/advocacy/library/teachphys/phys0039.htm :
"The Stark law was passed in 1993 and became effective January 1, 1995, although final regulations were not published until many years later. The law prohibits a physician (or an immediate family member) who has a financial relationship with an entity from making a referral to that entity for furnishing a designated health service (DHS) for which Medicare or Medicaid would otherwise pay. The DHS's covered by the law are: (1) clinical laboratory; (2) physical therapy (including speech-language pathology services); (3) occupational therapy; (4) radiology, including magnetic resonance imaging, computerized axial tomography scans and ultrasound; (5) radiation therapy services and supplies; (6) durable medical equipment and supplies; (7) parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment, and supplies; (8) prosthetics, orthotics, and prosthetic devices and supplies; (9) home health services; (10) outpatient prescription drugs; and (11) inpatient and outpatient hospital services. Congress provided for a number of exceptions to this prohibition and gave CMS the authority to create additional exceptions"
