I have begun to video interviews with my patients that have been denied medicare payments seemingly due to arbitrary and capricious auditors ( I didn't try to repair 16 year old bilateral bk prostheses that have been worn 12 hours a day every day .....They are worn out. The prescribing physician confirmed it in his chart notes ) The patient got a letter form medicare after the denial essentially saying why should we pay for your prostheses ? ( at least thats how the patient felt. ) I have a copy of their reply to medicare . They should not have messed with an alert oriented and articulate 70 year old. I am bringing all of this to both of my senators and my reprsentative. I will be posting on you tube as well. I have permission from all my patients that have medicare to do this . THEY need to tell the story because HHS abd OIG will not listen to us and I understand that. Dave Sisson CP BOCO
