Thank you to all California members who sent suggestions for responding
the Governor's recommendation that O&P be placed alongside DME for
competitive bidding purposes. Attached is COPA's response to the
proposal, aka HHS25.
The California Performance Review (CPR), the document that recommends the
competitive bidding, relies on the DMEPOS San Antonio study. Some of our
comments reference it. If you would like to see the entire report - it is
significant, please go to:
<URL Redacted> and click on the tab
at the bottom that says full report. It is 189 pages. Ignore the
Florida data, there was no O&P in that project - reference the San
Antonio data. Also look closely at the appendix at the end. It shows
exactly what codes were used in the project and what the bid prices were
compares to regular Medicare. For instance: L4360 $162.54, L3982 $222.63
and L3730 $613.20.
COPA is working behind the scenes with DHS and Legislative contacts to
resolve this issue. As soon as there is more news I will post it here.
If you are unable to open the PDF, I can send a text document upon your
request.
