| Source: Coloplast A/S Coloplast A/S 

Effective April 1, 2008, the four regional Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) covering the US have revised their
Local Coverage Determinations for Intermittent Catheters (IC). 

The key change is that intermittent catheters have increased from a maximum of
four catheters per month to a new maximum of 200 per month per patient.
