Medicare just slammed the brakes on new DMEPOS enrollments—and honest O&P providers are suddenly guilty until proven otherwise. Are your notes strong enough to save you in an audit, or do they look like they were written by a robot after the fact?

I went to the Academy meeting expecting the usual sessions and handshakes—but what happened this week left me genuinely inspired. Barriers that once divided pedorthics and O&P melted away, replaced by collaboration, generosity, and a powerful sense of purpose.
