Hello Paul,
I thought this might be interesting for some members of the listserve.
There have been questions about the Medicare Advantage Plans, and if they
are doing audits like Medicare contractors have been doing.

It seems that NOW we are going to see audits from these advantage plans.
Fortunately, I have been treating EVERY amputee as if they had Medicare
benefits. I have required ALL of my patients to have the Amputee Mobility
Predictor done by a physical therapist. I get all of the physician's notes
for the patients, making sure that they document exactly the medical
necessity of a prosthetic leg.
So, here we go again, with more audits it appears.
Thanks,
Jim DeWees, CP
