CMS is developing a “Suggested Electronic Clinical Template for Lower Limb Prostheses” to assist Medicare providers with data collection and medical documentation to support orders for lower limb prostheses. CMS is hosting several calls to allow physicians, prosthetists, and other interested parties to provide feedback on clinical elements of the document. The next call is scheduled for June 13. Comments on the proposed document also can be sent to eclinicaltemplate@cms.hhs.gov.
