Our very own Glen Thompson, MS, CPO co-authored Leading the Way for Bone-anchored Prostheses in this month's issue of The O&P EDGE. 📰 As the co-chair of the Bone-Anchored Prosthetics Society (which held its inaugural meeting earlier this year), Glen continues to advance the conversations and drive education around this transformative field. 🔑 Here are some key takeaways from the article: "...patients frustrated by the limitations of traditional socket options have increasingly turned to bone-anchored systems for the promise of enhanced functionality, biomechanical normalcy, and improved comfort." "Bone-anchored prosthetic devices represent a valuable clinical option for prosthetists that can greatly improve the quality of their patients’ lives." 🔗𝘛𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵: https://lnkd.in/gzaM9ZjC #boneanchoredprosthetics #limbloss #prosthetics #orthopedics #amputeecare #opraimplantsystem #askusweinventedit

Telehealth is shaping the future of Medicaid and state health policies. Did you know? ➡️ 47 states and D.C. now recognize home-based telehealth as an eligible Medicaid site. ➡️44 states have private payer laws supporting telehealth reimbursement, with new expansions in Puerto Rico and Pennsylvania. ➡️Audio-only telehealth reimbursement is rising, offering a lifeline for mental health services and beyond. States are also enhancing access through cross-state licensing and streamlined telehealth standards, ensuring care is as robust online as it is in-person.
