Össur Americas, Foothill Ranch, California, has signed an exclusive agreement with Harrington Management Group (HMG), Canton, Ohio, a third-party consulting firm that specializes in O&P and durable medical equipment (DME) payment issues, to provide reimbursement support for prosthetists who are providing users with Össur’s bionic prostheses.
HMG will provide an audit team whose members have prior experience working at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and CMS’ administrative law judge offices. According to the new agreement, prosthetists can hire the audit team to perform objective evaluations of pending Medicare filings for Össur’s bionic prostheses. Services provided by the audit team include retrieving necessary documentation from prescribing physicians and identifying potential filing deficiencies.
