CONTEMPLATING HEALTH ECONOMICS, CODING AND REIMBURSEMENT IN ORTHOTICS, PROSTHETICS AND PEDORTHICS	2021	7	.pdf	application/pdf	4526	287	43	Moving toward a novel, RVU based coding and reimbursement model used by and known to work for other healthcare service providers who also work with devices, could improve the professional standing of the O&P clinician within the interdisciplinary healthcare team and personify O&P professionals as service providers. This editorial manuscript provides a brief overview of the system the US O&P profession uses currently, particularly in the context of other healthcare professions transitioning to value based coding and reimbursement and culminates in a call to action for the profession to academically consider the strengths and weaknesses of the current system relative to alternative systems.	cache/cpoj-36125.pdf	txt/cpoj-36125.txt
