After an emotional day of passionate and articulate comments shared by amputees, physicians, prosthetists, physical therapists, academics, insurance company representatives, advocates, and philanthropists, in a packed room in Baltimore at the Draft LCD Open Comment Meeting, followed by a demonstration rally by dozens of sign carrying prosthetic users below the windows of the CMS building, extensive media coverage, and an announcement that the VA is officially speaking against the proposed LCD, a high level meeting was called between top officials of CMS and stakeholders at 4:00 pm EST today.
Leaders representing the concerns of amputees and the O&P profession are currently behind closed doors right now discussing this issue.
Keep watching for more updates as we all press forward to make changes that will have a positive impact on the future of amputee care in America.
Be sure to log into Facebook at view coverage at the NAAOP page as well as the Amputee Coalition and Mobility Saves pages. Videos of testimony and scenes from the rally are all available.
We should all be proud ourselves and our profession today as we see the power of one voice working together for the betterment of the patients we serve.
