Description

We are a primary care office in Annapolis, MD. Elite Medical Supplies contacted our office via fax requesting signatures for orders for a Lumbar, Knee, Wrist and Shoulder orthosis that neither the patient or our office requested or authorized. Elite Medical Supplies has repeatedly faxed and called our office regarding this to which we have simply replied that the patient is not interested. The patient, in fact, was never contacted by Elite Medical Supplies regarding this. I have seen similar scams in the past where they will bill Medicare for these orthosis. The patient's personal and Medicare information including Medicare ID#, home address, DOB, phone #, height and weight were all compromised.
