Live coverage from The O&P EDGE.
The American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA) 2018 Policy Forum was held March 7-8 in Washington DC, drawing about 96 O&P professionals, advocates, students, and consumers to the nation’s capital to meet with lawmakers to urge improvement in patient care and advance O&P legislation.
The 2018 Policy Forum began on the heels of a significant legislative O&P victory in February—the enactment of a key provision of the Medicare Orthotics & Prosthetics Improvement Act that made practitioners’ notes again an official part of a patient’s medical record. “This victory shows that the perseverance and hard work of those who have attended previous Policy Forums does pay off,” said AOPA President Jim Weber, MBA, during the opening general session, which kicked off the first day of the forum.
