We want to extend a special thank you to every member who renewed this year! You all showed up, signed in, and said yes to another year of connection, growth, and excellence. Your support is what makes the Academy shine. We are beyond grateful and more excited than ever to serve this incredible community of professionals in the year ahead.
Thank you to everyone who renewed on time!
If you've already paid your dues, we appreciate you more than an orthotist loves a perfectly fitted AFO. If you haven't, you're just a couple of button clicks away from another year of the best in O&P. Don't let your membership fall out of alignment.

CMS and DME MAC released the final local coverage determination to take effect on September 1, 2024.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractor (“DME MAC”) Medical Directors released the much-anticipated final Local Coverage Determination (“LCD”) L33787 Lower Limb Prostheses.
The final LCD expands the coverage criteria for microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (“MPKs”)—including fluid and pneumatic knees—for Medicare Functional Classification Level (“MFCL”) 2 beneficiaries, individuals with lower limb loss who are considered limited community ambulators and require a prosthetic knee based on the best available evidence. The effective date for this final LCD is September 1, 2024.
