> The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service will host a series of Special Open Door Forum (ODF) calls to allow physicians, prosthetists, and other interested parties to give feedback on the Suggested Electronic Clinical Template for Lower Limb Prostheses for possible nationwide use for Medicare.
>
> In order to enhance physician understanding of medical documentation requirements to support orders for Lower Limb Prostheses, CMS is exploring the development of an electronic clinical template that will assist providers with data collection and medical documentation. These templates may also facilitate the electronic submission of medical documentation. While not intended to be a data entry form per se, the template will describe the clinical elements that CMS believes would be useful in supporting the documentation requirements for coverage of Lower Limb Prostheses. CMS will work in collaboration with the DHHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) and the electronic Determination of Coverage (eDoC) workgroup which is focused on developing the standards necessary for an electronic clinical template.
