The Medicare O&P Patient-Centered Care Act

Timely access to reasonable and necessary orthotic and prosthetic (“O&P”) care is critically important to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries with limb loss and limb difference in need of orthotic braces and prosthetic limbs maintain and improve their health and live as independently as possible.  O&P clinical care is a combination of clinical services that culminate in the provision of an orthosis or prosthesis that satisfies the unique needs of each patient. Clinical care is necessary to ensure the fit and function of all limb prostheses and custom orthoses.

Appropriate O&P care supports a functional, active lifestyle. The Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Patient-Centered Care Act would ensure beneficiary access to patient-centered clinical O&P care through key improvements to the Medicare program.
