ACTION: Notice; Correction.

SUMMARY: This document sets forth a correction to the OIG Federal 
Register

[[Page 22271]]

notice published on March 29, 2012 (78 FR 19271), on our recently 
issued Special Fraud Alert on Physician-Owned Entities. Specifically, 
the Special Fraud Alert addressed physician-owned entities that derive 
revenue from selling, or arranging for the sale of, implantable medical 
devices ordered by their physician-owners for use in procedures the 
physician-owners perform on their own patients at hospitals or 
ambulatory surgical centers. An inadvertent error appeared in the DATES 
caption of that document regarding the effective date. Accordingly, we 
are removing the language regarding the effective date to ensure 
technical correctness of the document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrice S. Drew, Congressional and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Inspector General, (202) 619-1368.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In our publication of the Special Fraud 
Alert on Physician-Owned Entities, an inadvertent error appeared in the 
DATES caption on page 19271 regarding the effective date of the Special 
Fraud Alert. The caption incorrectly indicated that the effective date 
is March 29, 2013. Since this document is a notice, no effective date 
is applicable and all language regarding any effective date is deleted.

Daniel R. Levinson,
Inspector General.
