As reported on our sister blog, http://www.lifescienceslegalupdate.com/, Reliance Medical Systems, LLC, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California this week that seeks a declaration that an Office of Inspector General (OIG) Special Fraud Alert on physician-owned distributors (PODs) unfairly and unconstitutionally burdens First Amendment rights of free speech and due process. The complaint sets forth Reliance's legal rationale in support of the lawfulness of the physician-owned model, and it characterizes the Fraud Alert as the result of a multi-year lobbying campaign by "Big Corporations" forced to compete with small physician-owned entities.
