We have recently begun to see rejections of roll-on liners as not medically necessary whether they are replacements or accompany a new socket / prosthesis that is paid for. The staff at AOPA have told us they are not aware of a pattern in this area. One other prosthetist in Michigan has told me he is seeing the same thing. Is this a widespread issue? Are other facilities seeing the same thing?
