What we need is regulation of this profession to:
1)Stop this counterproductive alphabet soup sand box feuding and focus on the real solution by requiring every provider to have a license to practice.
2)Better ensure patient protection and proper delivery of qualified services
3)Provide ACCOUNTABILITY , state and federal oversight to providers of comprehensive O&P services
4)Promote and encourage proper coverage by third party payers
As a open question to all subscribers :
What other legitimate heath care profession, providing comprehensive health care services, does not require a state license to legally provide these services ?
I look forward to receiving the exceptions but there will be none!
Consumers,do want proper and affordable coverage for O&P services?
Advocate for and support regulation and seek out licensed providers for your O&P needs.
Practitioners, is your profession worthy of a license?
Advocate for and support regulation.
Practitioners, do you want proper reimbursement for the comprehensive O&P services that you provide?
Advocate for and support regulation.
