Dear colleagues,
In addition to support against the LCD from numerous physician groups and disability awareness groups, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) also joined in with a letter to the DME MACS taking issue with the proposed LCD sharing the believe that the proposal ignores the realities of rehabilitation and shortchanges the importance of clinical judgment.
As we all know, it takes a village to provide comprehensive rehabilitation for the amputee, it's always been and always will be about more than just 'the parts' that make up the prosthesis. Be sure to extend a special thanks to our close friends and colleagues in the physical therapy community.
