Heidi Sorensen was quoted in the December 8, 2008 issue of Report on Medicare Compliance on a recent OIG Advisory Opinion approving an arrangement in which two suppliers of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (DMEPOS) will (i) place inventory in consignment closets on-site at certain hospitals and (ii) have licensed personnel on-call or on-site at the hospitals to train and educate patients who have been prescribed respiratory equipment and have selected one of the companies as their supplier upon discharge to their homes.
