OPPOSE: House Bill 906 mandates individuals, through their premiums, pay for an unlimited number of prosthetic devices at unlimited costs.
It is important that individuals have access to prosthetic devices that meet their inclusive individual needs. As written, however, House Bill 906 would mandate individuals, through their premiums, pay for an unlimited number of devices at unlimited costs. The bill also fails to require that prosthetics be fitted by a reputable and licensed prosthetic professional or prohibit financial relationships between prosthetists and prosthetic companies even though there is evidence of fraud, waste, and abuse in this area.
