Are Prosthetic & Orthotic Services considered essential health benefits?

On March 19, 2020 the National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics (NAAOP) sent a letter to all state governors, COVID-19 State Task Forces, and health insurance commissioners stating that O&P patients must have access to continued care during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  To reduce the risk of infection, NAAOP also called for federal, state, and local governments to issue further guidance and safety protocols to minimize transmission of the virus during patient care encounters.  To read the full letter, click the link below.
