November 2016 Newsletter

TAKE 3 SECONDS AND SEND AN IMPORTANT LETTER!

Please, take just 3 seconds and ask the Finance Committee to support S. 829, The Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Improvement Act, which provides common sense solutions to reduce fraud, including the following provisions:

* Requires Medicare to reimburse only those orthotic and prosthetic providers who are licensed (in states that require licensure) or accredited (applicable in all non-licensure states) to provide orthoses and prostheses

* Recognizes the value of the Orthotist's or Prosthetist's Notes in the Medical record;

* Assures due process rights to improve proper Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) time frames;

* Reinstates and clarifies the statutory definition of "Minimal Self Adjustment" for Off-the-Shelf Orthoses to protect Medicare beneficiaries;

* Distinguishes Orthotists and Prosthetists from Suppliers of Durable Medical Equipment (DME);

* Requires greater transparency and granularity in CMS data availability about audit outcomes.

"Teams-giving" Is Over. Back to Work!
