Lately there has been a increase companies using the following tactics. I was curious as to how ABC and Licensed practitioner felt about these different scenarios as if they are 1. Ethical, 2. Legal or 3. Perfectly OK.

Scenario 1. A P&O Companies employs people to drive around looking or canvasing neighborhoods for Amputees.

Scenario 2. a P&O Company Pays Patients a referral fee for find fellow amputees to become patients.

Scenario 3 the CPO himself drives around looking for amputees himself.

I have my own opinion about this but was curious as to the pulse of other practitioners on these practices. I will post all replies at a later date.

Thank you   Patrick S. Price CPO, LPO
