9. yes. should patient be medicare, you can not accept certifying
physician
statement for diabetic shoes from ARNP, otherwise, you good to go
10. My sheet from medicare says it must be an M.D. I don't think there is
much discussion on the subject. Since all CNP's are working under an
M.D. it would seem that that doctor would be required to sign the
sheet. That is just my opinion on the subject.
11. She can prescribe the shoes, but the Therapeutic Shoe statement must be
signed by an MD or DO who is responsible for the overall care of the
patient's diabetes.
12. According to the rules, it must be signed by the supervising MD or DO only.
Comment:
Clearly most people feel that it must be a MD or DO. But isn't the Therapeutic Shoe Statement a CMN? Wouldn't the same rules apply? Maybe someone has the printed rule as it applies to the Therapeutic Shoe Statement.
