Bill overview
The Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Patient-Centered Care Act aims to improve the quality of care for people with limb loss or other orthopedic conditions by strengthening regulations around orthotics and prosthetics covered by Medicare. It requires suppliers to meet specific licensing and accreditation standards, establishes detailed requirements for written orders from orthotists and prosthetists, and prohibits Medicare payments for certain prosthetics and orthotics delivered through drop shipments. The bill also clarifies the roles of orthotists and prosthetists and standardizes definitions related to these devices.
