I am getting requests from a physician that we start stocking a few items
that we traditionally have not in the past. Walkers, Crutches, and Cervical
Traction Units. Nothing for rental.
Does anyone have experience or advise about pitfalls or issues that should
be addressed when incorporating these into a traditional O&P practice? With
Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance?
I am aware of the accreditation issue and that an updated 855 needs to be
filed with CMS..but is there more?
Thank you for your help and advice.
