For the record, AOPA is attempting to restrict payments for custom Lcodes
to qualified provider, not establish a separate, parallel payment system
for O&P and DME. In a way, Congress has partially separated O&P from DME
by establishing a separate payment section in the Social Security Act for
O&P. AOPA is pushing hard to complete the separation on custom services.
