Qualified Provider Access to L Codes

The O&P Alliance supports the proposed use of quality standards and mandatory accreditation for the provision of all Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) items and services. These requirements were mandated by the Congress as part of the competitive bidding section of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). It is through effective quality standards and accreditation that we believe CMS will improve the quality of O&P services provided to Medicare beneficiaries while vastly reducing opportunities for fraud and abuse.
