These devices must be prescribed by a physician, podiatrist, certified registered nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. Coverage extends to fitting, repair, or replacement deemed medically necessary. The act specifies that devices must be rendered by licensed professionals and provided by licensed fitters or practitioners.
