None were ever actually shipped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>An Illinois supplier who bought cheap sex-toy grade penis pumps from online dealers and reshipped them to Medicare patients who never asked for them, then billed Medicare at a markup rate nearly 11 times greater than what he first paid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Two Georgia firms the government says used improper Medicare provider numbers to bill the program for more than $3.6 million worth of penis pumps between 2003 and 2009.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Aging Baby Boomers Seek Help for ED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the population ages, doctors expect even more men to be diagnosed with poor quality erections.
