A physician's office draws samples from an average of 10 patients a day. The physician's office requests a box of 50 pairs of gloves per day from the laboratory. How would you handle this request?
Because the number of gloves the physician's office is requesting is more than the office will use to draw the blood samples, the gloves in the quantity requested cannot be supplied. If the gloves were supplied, then this would be an enticement to the physician for business, would violate the Antikickback Law, and could subject all parties to penalties.
