Coordinate with appropriate officials, including the VA Office of General Counsel, and determine if 38 U.S.C. § 1703(i) and other reimbursement practices cited in this report apply to the reimbursement rates medical facilities should pay for prosthetic and orthotic items provided by vendors. If they do apply, develop and issue guidance requiring medical facilities to adhere to them; if they do not apply, develop and issue guidance on steps medical facilities need to take to ensure they purchase prosthetic and orthotic items at reasonable prices.
