The Academy made up of over 2000 indivual ABC certified practitioners feel
strongly that orthotic or prosthetic health care services should not be
involved in the competitive bidding process.
Perhaps those wanting to advocate against O&P competitive bidding without
qualification should access the web site above and join the Academy's
efforts to addressing opposition to Mr. Mark Wynn at HCFA (address is on
Ms.Langdon-Bash's letter contained at the web site).
Where does ABC, BOC, AOPA and NAAOP??
