i can see a neuropathy organization not wanting to come to a specific hearing because of lack of time or manpower but you would think that they could write up a standard brief that a person could submit as to why some non diabetic PNers have the medical necessity of orthotics and shoes. That California organization talks a good ball game but that appears to be all they do. Both organizations are absolutely useless. They should be working on getting the medicare rules changed at the federal level. What is it exactly that they do?
