Greetings Fellow Pedorthists !
Ah , the doldrums of winter . The rush of the holiday shopping season has gone by . The explosion of color and motion that is sandal season has yet to arrive . The in-between time . A great time to take stock of your practice and do some strategic planning , try out some new strategies , and maybe even take a little time off . Unless you are on the PFA Board , that is . We are keeping ourselves quite busy . We are working away developing this year ’ s Symposium and it promises to be a great one ! We have an exciting new payment plan to make the Symposium and your PFA membership even more affordable just about to launch . We are responding to the Rule being proposed by CMS that seeks to define qualified providers that will be able to bill for prosthetic and orthotic services and fabrication ,
