Legal Speak
In May, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that 38 people had been arrested in the first phase of a targeted enforcement effort against individuals and companies committing fraud against Medicare. The arrests took place in South Florida and were the result of a multi-specialty task force that combines resources from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the DOJ and the FBI. The targeted individuals and companies included suppliers of DME items and respiratory medications.

Planting Bariatric Roots
Growth. For plants, generators of the air we breathe, the process begins small. A seed unfurls roots. The roots penetrate deeper into the earth, stabilizing the plant and drawing in nutrients for cell reproduction. The plant grows larger. The deeper the roots go, the greater the chance for the plant’s survival.
