Report Description:
For calendar years (CYs) 2012 through 2015, Medicare allowable amounts for certain back, knee, elbow, and wrist orthotic devices increased from $631.8 million to $815.5 million. We are concerned about the relationship of these increased costs to prices per orthotic device, and specifically whether Medicare allowable amounts are comparable with payments made by select non-Medicare payers.
