as these codes come in defining a
performance and product standard.
Shore A will not tell you the life of
the insert, or the materials required,
assuming the author cared or knew
which to specify. The material must
be heat moldable? Why specifically
heat moldable? How hot? Will heat
affect a materials durometer? Anything up to body temperature would
never stop molding and rapidly
become useless. Higher temperature
and directly molding to the patient's
foot would place many diabetics at
grave risk for limb loss. This is scary.
Question, where does directive
A37076 demonstrate value as a
quality performance standard for
therapeutic footwear? Where does
this leave the producer of footwear
products specified by the Medicare
directives? This is a serious situation.
Considering the onslaught of audits,
you will have to justify your ability to
properly fill a prescription and to deliver an expected product. Auditing
and billing holds you accountable to
directive A37076. what is expected
from you? Can you deliver? You are
flying blind. This is the relationship
between Standards, Specific Detail
and Jeopardy.
