Greetings List,
I am seeing my first Chopart amputee in 14 yrs as a Prosthetist Orthotist.
She is very interested in a silicone prosthesis. Two questions:
1. I would like to hear success rates for diabetic amputees without
significant neuropathy. I would also like to put my patient in touch with
similar patients.
2. What has been your success with getting paid by Medicare for a silicone
prosthesis?
I will post responses to the list for the benefit of all.
Thanks,
David Gerecke, CPO, FAAOP
