Just learned of the form Medicare requires Physician to fill out before
Powered Wheelchairs can be considered a covered benefit. Should the
prosthetics industry pursue a similar path to deal with our current dilemma
of required physician documentation? I don't deal with wheelchairs so have
no experience in this area; it may be worse than what we currently are
faced with. However there is a HCPCS code G0372 that allows physicians to
be paid for their time to fill this form. Getting our Docs paid for their
time (or other staff members time) would be helpful. Ideas out there?
