In reading Carey's March 3, 2012 post on OandP.com, I also wonder why
Medicare pays for sales reps and physicians' office personnel to provide
orthotic items while orthotic facilities have stringent education
requirements for persons who see patients.

 

Also, we've heard of physician's who have been busted for cranking out
illegitimate billings. We should be able to help Medicare weed out fraud. if
street addresses of places that bill L-codes to Medicare were made public on
the Internet.of is this already available?
