Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Patient-Centered Care Act aims to protect Medicare beneficiaries with limb loss and orthopedic conditions.

The Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Patient-Centered Care Act amends the Social Security Act to enhance protections for Medicare beneficiaries receiving orthotic and prosthetic care. It prohibits payment for orthotics and prosthetics delivered via drop shipment to individuals who have not received training on their use. The Act also exempts additional practitioners from competitive acquisition requirements and ensures beneficiary access to replacement custom-fitted orthotics and custom-fabricated orthotic devices.
