ORIGINAL POST
Does Medicare publish a list of the facilities that it pays O&P benefits
to? I would certainly be glad to report any facilities I see that are
billing for our type of services but are unknown to the rest of us...

RESPONSES
I'm not sure that they do....I know that if you participate they publish
a list but many providers do not participate.
This is an excellent idea on how we as a profession, concerned with the
growing issues of fraud and abuse by the non-qualified O&P providers
that are undermining profession, could aid Medicare/CMS with this
problem. I think it has merit and deserves some investigation on the
part of our national organizations!! If this would prove to be a
viable idea, possibly it could be used to generate some positive press
from our profession to help counter the negative press given to
fraudulent providers!
Interesting point!
