Friends,
AOPA has just received word that the Department of Justice, Antitrust
Division, has closed its investigation of the American Orthotic and Prosthetic
Association's actions in the Veterans' Administration artificial limbs
contracting process. They could find no evidence that AOPA committed any
wrongdoing. We understand from an AOPA member who was similarly subpoenaed
that the case against him has been closed as well.
Just for the record, AOPA spent about $10,000 defending itself during this
investigation. For what? We knew from the outset that we'd done nothing
wrong.
Thanks to everyone for their confidence and support. It is another victory
for the O&P field.
