The bill amends existing law to enhance access to orthotic and prosthetic care, prohibit certain payment methods, and add practitioners to exempt from competitive acquisition.

  • 42 U.S.C. 1395m(h)(1)

    I) Prohibition on payment for certain items furnished using a drop shipment.-- (i) In general.--No payment may be made under this subsection for an item described in clause (ii) furnished to an individual via a drop shipment on or after the first day of the first year beginning after the date of the enactment of this subparagraph. (ii) Items described.--The items described in this clause are orthotics and prosthetics, not including supplies for such orthotics and prosthetics, that are identified by HCPCS codes for which payment is not made under section 1847. (iii) Drop shipment defined.--In this subparagraph, the term `drop shipment' means, with respect to an item described in clause (ii), the direct shipment of such item to an individual who has not received training or education from a qualified practitioner (as defined in subparagraph (F)(iii)) on the fitting and adjustment, care, and use of such item.

    This new subparagraph prohibits payment for orthotics and prosthetics delivered directly to patients without proper training from a qualified practitioner.

  • 42 U.S.C. 1395w-3(a)(7)(A)(i)
