Publication of OIG Special Fraud Alert on Telemarketing by 
Durable Medical Equipment Suppliers; Correction

AGENCY: Office of Inspector General (OIG), HHS.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document sets forth a correction to the OIG Federal 
Register notice published on March 4, 2003 (68 FR 10254) addressing our 
recently-issued Special Fraud Alert. Specifically, the Special Fraud 
Alert addressed the statutory provision prohibiting durable medical 
equipment suppliers from making unsolicited telephone calls to Medicare 
beneficiaries regarding the furnishing of a covered item. An 
inadvertent error appeared on the heading line in section II of that 
document regarding the final issuance date of the notice. Accordingly, 
we are correcting that issuance date to assure technical correctness of 
that document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joel Schaer, Office of Counsel to the 
Inspector General, (202) 619-0089.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In our publication of the OIG Special Fraud 
Alert on Telemarketing by Durable Medical Equipment Suppliers, an 
inadvertent error appeared on the heading for section II on page 10255 
regarding the final issuance date of the Special Fraud Alert. The 
heading incorrectly indicated the issuance date as January 2003. The 
correct issuance date of this Special Fraud Alert should read as March 
2003.

    Dated: March 4, 2003.
Joel Schaer,
OIG Regulations Officer.
