How can this guy be getting away with this???!
Here's a good one! How can this guy be getting away with this???! An area Orthopeadic physician/surgeon recently provided & fit a cervical orthosis to an acquaintance.  pt paid cash d/t no DME coverage.  Dr proudly told pt that he & his wife invented this cervial orthosis & he is apparently providing it to all of his cervical pts!!!!! And WE get dinged for silly little documentation errors by our prescribing doctors?!!!??????? Rick Milen, CPO, PTA NEXSTEP, Inc. Prosthetic Specialists West Lawn, PA http://www.iwalknexstep.com/
