Separating O and P from DME

Position

Because legislation continues to lump DME and O&P together, we believe there could potentially be inappropriate implications for the O&P field. The American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association therefore requests that any references to "orthotics and prosthetics" be deleted from provisions that deal specifically with DME and that O&P be treated and evaluated separately.
