Randy,
I can't answer that question precisely, but my sense is that most of our
supplier members providing components for custom O&P work, at least
primarily, with ABC facilities, and many exclusively. I think the proof is
that our supplier members are supporting the legislation AOPA has proposed
that would limit payments for custom L-codes to qualified
provider/suppliers.
Good question,
Bob
