For non-disabled individuals, obesity can be caused by weight cycling, stress, social discrimination, eating-disordered behavior, poverty, and a list of other factors. The extra weight can add a great deal of stress on the body and the mind. Obese individuals struggle with social stigma, inappropriate humor, and perceived and actual discrimination, which can culminate in healthcare avoidance.

SPS Trends Survey 2022: Prior Authorization & PDAC Changes in O&P

Posted by SPS on Jul 28, 2022 9:13:27 AM

It would not be until 2020 before lower limb prosthetic devices joined the program.
