Dear ListServe Members,
I just finished talking with a Palmetto GBA Compliance Analyst today in regards to Orthotic & Prosthetic facilities providing Diabetic Footwear to Diabetics. They have informed me that as of October 1, 2010, it will be mandatory for those facilities who provide Off The Shelf Diabetic footwear to be an Accredited Facility. Repeat, if you provide Off The Shelf Diabetic Shoes, such as Drew, Dr. Comfort, Orthofeet, P.W. Minor, StrideLite, etc., you will be required to be accredited by October 1, 2010. I suggest you contact your Compliance Unit for your Region and see if they are requiring the same.
Happy to let you know the inside story,
