Question to this list. I have graduated from a one year Orthopedic
Technology course in California. I have worked with a large Orthopedic
practice for 6 years as well as started my own service for fitting custom
ACL and fracture braces. Under this new federal statute that was passed in
December 2000, would I be considered qualified to do this.
It seems to me I have a lot more specific training & experience in acute
orthotic fracture care than most orthotists and certainly more than PT's.
Will the negotiating rule making committee have representation from the
Orthopedic Technologist national organization? Would the representatives
from the O&P organizations have objections to the Orthotechs being
represented since some of the L Codes under consideration by the HFCA are
for fracture casting?
