Supplemental Medical Insurance. Dialysis Services provided grants or loans for the payment of premiums for supplemental medical insurance (under which Medicare Part B coverage is provided) on behalf of a small percentage of its patients who are financially needy. The practice of providing loans or grants for the payment of supplemental medical insurance premiums by NMC was one of the subjects of review by the government as part of the OIG Investigation. The Government, however, advised the Company orally that it is no longer pursuing this issue. Furthermore, as a result of the passage of HIPAA, the Company terminated making such payments on behalf of its patients. Instead, the Company, together with other representatives of the industry, obtained an advisory opinion from the OIG, whereby, consistent with specified conditions, the Company and other similarly situated providers may make contributions to a non-profit organization that has volunteered to make these payments on behalf of indigent ESRD patients, including patients of the Company. In addition, the government has indicated that it is investigating the method by which NMC made Medigap payments on behalf of its indigent patients. Overpayments for Home Dialysis Services NMC acquired HIC, an in-center and home dialysis service provider, in 1993. At the time of the acquisition, HIC was the subject of a claim by HCFA that HIC had received payments for home dialysis services in excess of the Medicare reasonable charge for services rendered prior to February 1, 1990. NMC settled the HCFA claim against HIC in 1994. The government is investigating whether the settlement concerning the alleged overpayments made to HIC resolved all issues relating to such alleged overpayments. The government is also investigating whether HDS received payments similar to the payments that HIC received, and whether HDS improperly billed for home dialysis services in excess of the monthly cost cap for services rendered on or after February 1, 1990. The government is investigating whether NMC was overpaid for services rendered. NMC asserts that the bxxxxxxx by HDS were proper, but there can be no assurance that the government will accept NMC’s view. LifeChem
