Dear list
I am involved the with Massachusetts Society of Orthotics &
Prosthetics (MSOP) working with MA Medicaid trying to re-write the
regulations for O&P. This has been a long slow process but we feel we
are making progress. One of our stumbling blocks is a current
regulation that Medicaid will only pay for foot orthoses when fit into
an Orthopedic Shoe. We need to re-write a definition for
Orthopedic Shoes that will allow use to use well constructed
athletic shoes. Does anyone have a definition for orthopedic shoes
other than Leather uppers, counters, inner sole and outer soles with a
Goodyear welt construction.
All assistance is greatly appreciated.
