NEW QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Comment: Below is a very interesting notice that I received from VGM about the policyholders of Medicare surety bonds now being hit for recoupment shortages. The language in this notice should give great concern to anyone who is a Medicare TSD footwear supplier that is mandated to have a surety bond to be a supplier. It seems that after mandating that certain types of suppliers (pedorthists for one) have to purchase a surety bond to be a Medicare supplier, the OIG found out that the DMEPOS contractors were failing to notify surety bond companies that the bond company needed to cover recoupment shortages. This failure to request payments from surety bond companies is now history. As one can read in this VGM notice, the surety bond company will go after the policyholder to repay what the bond company paid the DMEPOS contractor. No money in bank to pay back surety bond company? Not a problem. Sell your home (oops, not a good housing market), sell your cars, cash out the kid's college fund; just pay up is what the bond company will be saying.
Also, it appears that it will become difficult to get a surety bond in the future and without having a surety bond during renewal process for a Medicare number; one would no longer be able to be a supplier. With audit rates of diabetic footwear claims at all time highs and recoupment rates even higher, one would have to imagine that this surety bond issue will be the final nail in the coffin for all diabetic shoe suppliers except those that used their political lobbyist at the last minute to avoid surety bond requirement to be a supplier.

Comment: There is news about laws being introduced that would drastically cut the scope of practice for the pedorthist. Our scope of practice (if you want to call it that way) would be fitting shoes and inserts.
I looked the other day at the Accreditation Standards of ABC & BOC. It seems that we, the pedorthist, are only listed for Therapeutic/diabetic footwear and inserts. Nowhere does it state that we are allowed and/or get accredited to fabricate, fit or dispense custom foot orthoses, ankle gauntlets etc. for diabetic or non-diabetic patients.
Coincidence?
-PNW Reader
Question: Can anyone help me find a Medicare compliant depth shoe that would fit a women's size 2.5 foot? Thanks!
-NC C.Ped.
PREVIOUS COMMENT WITHOUT RESPONSES Question: I was wondering how many C. Peds accept insurances other than Medicare? Are there any benefits to doing so, or is really just one more hoop we have to jump through. Please share your thoughts, thank you!

Study: Heavy teens have trouble managing diabetesBy: Alicia Chang New research sends a stark warning to overweight teens: If you develop diabetes, you'll have a very tough time keeping it under control. A major study, released Sunday, tested several ways to manage blood sugar in teens newly diagnosed with diabetes and found that nearly half of them failed within a few years and 1 in 5 suffered serious complications. The results spell trouble for a nation facing rising rates of "diabesity" - Type 2 diabetes brought on by obesity. The federally funded study is the largest look yet at how to treat diabetes in teens. Earlier studies mostly have been in adults, and most diabetes drugs aren't even approved for youths. The message is clear: Prevention is everything. Full TextSource: Associated Press Manipulating heart-specific gene pathway may help treat obesity, diabetesBy: Ani Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that the heart can regulate energy balance throughout the body, a finding that may lead to effective treatments for obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Using mice fed a high-fat diet, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers found that manipulating a heart-specific genetic pathway prevents obesity and protects against harmful blood-sugar changes associated with type 2 diabetes. "Obesity, diabetes, and coronary artery disease are major causes of human death and disability, and they are all connected to metabolism. This is the first demonstration that the heart can regulate systemic metabolism, which we think opens up a whole new area of investigation," said Dr. Eric Olson, chairman of molecular biology at UT Southwestern and senior author of the study. Full TextSource: Yahoo India Doubts Over Long Term Impact Of Group Education For Diabetes PatientsA study published in BMJ (British Medical Journal) states that there are no long term benefits from type 2 diabetes group education programs that only take place once. Type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease which can lead to amputation, loss of vision, kidney failure and many other health problems, requires a person to be extremely vigilant in caring for themselves when it comes to medication, treatment and caring for their symptoms. The UK's Diabetes National Service Framework and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) both support and recommend education programs to diabetics, starting at the time they are diagnosed.

SPORTS AND FITNESS
| High school offers "lifetime fitness" alternative to PE
By: Jessie Pounds
Maybe it's the blue yoga mats. Or the way the students take up "mountain" and "crocodile" poses at the teacher's command. For whatever reason, it's clear this isn't a traditional gym class. Physical education teachers Cotrena Liggon and Janice Megginson started the lifetime fitness course at E.C. Glass High School last school year as an alternative to the school's weight-lifting or sports-based physical education classes. Each student must have two physical education credits to graduate.

Running: How healthy is it?
By: Bo Koltnow
From the street, to the track, to the trail, the surface for runners is secondary. "I just ran 13 miles as fast as I could," said Carolyn Dunham, after completing St. Luke's half marathon on Sunday. "I would say it's an incredible healthy activity," said runner Michael Drabenstott, when asked if running is a healthy activity.Drabenstott said he's been running up to 13 miles a day, five days a week for the past 13 years. "Does a lot for my body in keeping my weight in check, in terms of keeping my blood pressure low, my resting pulse rate low," Drabenstott said. Full Text

BECOMING CERTIFIED IN PEDORTHICS
| Pedorthics is a professional field covering the design, manufacture, modification and/or fit of footwear. Pedorthics encompasses shoes, orthoses and foot devices that prevent or alleviate foot problems caused by disease, overuse, injury or congenital defect. Certified Pedorthists work with patients and their footwear to conform to a doctor's footwear prescription as part of the patient's treatment
To earn certification in Pedorthics, you must take a pre-determined number of course hours in pedorthics and pass a certifying examination overseen by either The American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics® or Board for Certification/Accreditation, Int'l. Both the ABC and BOC are independent certification bodies that set standards for the profession and offer certifications that are recognized by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies.
