The efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of
Orthotics & Prosthetics (NAAOP), along with other O&P
organizations, to challenge the Statistical Analysis Durable
Medical Equipment Regional Carrier’s (SADMERC’s) recent coding
decision regarding add-on codes have been successful, NAAOP
reported January 10. NAAOP has verbally confirmed that the SADMERC
will rescind its policy prohibiting the use of add-on orthotic
codes in conjunction with prefabricated orthotic base codes, the
organization said in an Internet post. “This represents a clear
victory for NAAOP and the O&P community in maintaining quality
orthotic care,” the association said.
