Heard on the street...
The Academy has been hearing stories about a growing number of complaints
from veterans that the quality of their prosthetic care and access to
ABC-certified practitioners has been severely affected by VA decisions to
contract solely on a cost basis.
The Academy would like to gather information from practitioners concerning
specific examples of problems you may have had in either securing a contract
or in losing existing VA patients because the regions have contracted with
other providers on the basis of agreements for lower reimbursement levels.
If you have had such experiences, would you please write a letter to the
Academy that details those events. The letter should be factual and should
relate to events that have occurred within the last two years.
Thanks,
