The issue I've not seen addressed in any of the discussions of Stock and
Bill arrangements is the fact that the reimbursement for all the L-codes
includes the compensation for the time necessary for proper assessment,
fitting, delivery, and follow-up adjustments for the item in question. As
I had it explained to me billing an L-code without having been the party to
provide these services constitutes fraud. Does the fact that they employ
the physician's staff to provide these services protect them from this charge?
