Ask the Prosthetist
Frequently...and not so frequently asked questions
Q: Jonas, I am a bilateral upper limb amputee. During my rehab, someone mentioned that there is a meeting just for people like me. I've tried to find more info online but haven't been successful. Can you help?
A: The conference they were referring to is Skills for Life. It is a four day Bilateral Upper Limb Loss Workshop sponsored by the US chapter of ISPO. It is held every two to three years in different venues around the country. This year it was held in Houston, TX. I would recommend joining their page on facebook as it's the easiest way to stay up to date on any of their upcoming conferences.

 RESPONSE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE...Sort of.
Washington, DC OFFICIAL THE WHITE HOUSE, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES RESPONSE TO
Rescind the Medicare proposal restricting access to prosthetic limbs and returning amputees to 1970's standards of care.
An initial response to your petition on a Medicare local coverage determination:
Thanks for using We the People, and for sharing your concerns about the local coverage determination for lower limb prostheses proposed by Medicare contractors. In order to get the most up-to-date information concerning your petition, we've gone to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) -- specifically, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Administration for Community Living (ACL). You can learn more about LCDs and how they're determined here. The coverage determination process is still ongoing, but CMS wants to make clear that they're committed to providing high quality care to all Medicare beneficiaries. They also wanted to make sure you know that HHS has met with stakeholders on this important issue, and both CMS and its contractors understand the questions that have been raised about access to the right prosthetic care -- including related technologies -- for Medicare beneficiaries. We will be in touch with another update. --The We the People Team
