An interesting discussion between myself and an OT led to an interesting question. Can an orthotist provide custom hand splinting at the same time an OT is visiting a home-bound patient? That is, the home-care agency is being paid to provide OT, PT, Speech, etc... Under PPS, is the agency responsible for providing off-the-shelf splinting or custom splinting through the OT, or, can an orthotist independently provide the splints described in the L-3800's, L-3900's, etc? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
  Regards, Aaron Mitchell, CO.
