(Ursäkta den långa frågan...)
There are two methods under Medicare for the provision of dialysis supplies, equipment and support services for patients who receive dialysis at home. Under Method I, an outpatient dialysis facility provides Plaintiffs members with all equipment, supplies and necessary support services. The dialysis facility then bills Plaintiff. A dialysis facility is not
permitted to act as a durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotios and supply company (hereinafter "supply company") and is only permitted to bill Plaintiff for supplies and equipment under Method I. Under Method II, a supply company provides all necessary equipment and supplies to the patient, and a dialysis facility provides support services to the patient |

| | Don't translate | Explanation:
The expression is a (strange) combination of two Stark categories. The link to the Stark law would be lost if you translate. You would be well advised to refer to the law in a footnote.

From http://www.aamc.org/advocacy/library/teachphys/phys0039.htm :
"The Stark law was passed in 1993 and became effective January 1, 1995, although final regulations were not published until many years later. The law prohibits a physician (or an immediate family member) who has a financial relationship with an entity from making a referral to that entity for furnishing a designated health service (DHS) for which Medicare or Medicaid would otherwise pay. The DHS's covered by the law are: (1) clinical laboratory; (2) physical therapy (including speech-language pathology services); (3) occupational therapy; (4) radiology, including magnetic resonance imaging, computerized axial tomography scans and ultrasound; (5) radiation therapy services and supplies; (6) durable medical equipment and supplies; (7) parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment, and supplies; (8) prosthetics, orthotics, and prosthetic devices and supplies; (9) home health services; (10) outpatient prescription drugs; and (11) inpatient and outpatient hospital services. Congress provided for a number of exceptions to this prohibition and gave CMS the authority to create additional exceptions"
