  accept  for  medical  or dental care or treatment any person referred or
  recommended for such care or treatment by a medical or  dental  referral
  service  business  located  in or doing business in another state if the
  medical or dental referral service business would  be  prohibited  under
  this  section  if the business were located in or doing business in this
  state.
