AOPA Action Alert: Knee Orthosis Policy---Submit Your Comments
The Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers (DMERCs) have released a
draft of their latest medical policy efforts, a brand-new policy for
knee orthoses. Since this is only a draft, we urge you to read its
provisions and submit comments, either to AOPA or directly to the DMERC
medical directors.
AOPA is examining this policy in detail and will be advocating strongly
the O&P field's position on these issues in our response to this draft.
Read the complete policy and accompanying explanation from the medical
directors on AOPA's Web site,www.AOPAnet.org, under Industry News.
To provide your thoughts to AOPA on this policy, contact Tim Redmon at
<Email Address Redacted> , or (571) 431-0876, ext. 259. Final comments are
due to the DMERCs by Oct. 25. Although no implementation schedule has
been announced, initiation of such a policy may be as early as Jan. 1.
