Under a Medicaid provider agreement, Ace Homecare received reimbursement from Medicaid for providing catheters, gloves, nutritional supplements, and adult diapers to Medicaid recipients with a physician’s written order. Between March 2003 and September 2005, Ace Homecare received reimbursement for items provided without a physician's order.
