I am also finding that in Texas, managed care entities continue to
reimburse non-licensed companies and individuals for O&P. In a way,
those that are licensed are forced to follow rules than non-licensed
individuals obviously ignore (seemingly without recourse). State
Licensure is a step in the right direction, but it does not solve all of
our problems. In this free market society it is incumbent on licensed
professionals to educate physicians and third party payers as to the
difference between a sales rep working out of his car and a licensed
professional.
We must also ask ourselves why a physician would continue to use a
non-licensed sales rep, with no office and probably no liability
coverage. The answer (barring illegal inducements) is usually that this
representative provides superior service. In most instances, those
providing the best service will win the business. As frustrating as it
is, if we sit back and wait for someone in the state capital to solve
our problems we may have a long wait.

This is for all of you Tx people, What hapens to a person who see's
patients without a licence? According to Medicare they don't care if
you have a licence or not. I have a licence spend good money to keep it
up but if there are no teeth in the law does it do any real good? Some
of the hospitals we work will require a licence, but other than that no
one seems to care except thoes of us who have a licence.
