Concerned citizen
May 8, 2008, 8:42am (report abuse)I understand how the Group Health Plan Prosthetics Parity Act of 2007 - HR 5615 IH will help support the prosthetics industry, and provide prostheses to amputees whom otherwise would not be able to obtain them. The act however does not address the quality of care received, by whom (prosthetics is an unregulated industry in the majority of states), standards, or disclosure to the amputee about these services. Without addressing these points the proposed legislation would impact insurance companies negatively causing an increase in costs, and open the possibility of further injury to amputees increasing costs even further.
