Daniel Melvin was quoted in the December 22 issue of Report on Medicare Compliance in an article regarding the recent answer to a FAQ that CMS posted regarding the final Medicare physician fee schedule regulation that will change the dynamic of mobile diagnostic testing relationships. "The new rule for mobile operators should never have been construed to require portable testing equipment and technologist leading companies to enroll in Medicare as IDTFs, but CMS made published statements suggesting that this was their intent," Mr. Melvin said.

Jerry Sokol and Joshua Kaye was quoted in the May 1 issue of Diagnostic Imaging in the article "Scan Time Leases: Referring Clinicians Mine for Gold in Radiology's Backyard." Imaging equipment leasing to referring physicians reveals wildly differing attitudes toward self-referral. Many physicians have become less guarded about their behavior as in-office imaging self-referral has proliferated. Mr. Sokol said, "Many imaging service operators have gained confidence in the legality of block leasing. It accounts for a majority of referring physician leasing contracts."
