At the September 2005 meeting, the Board reviewed a number of different types of prefabricated orthotic devices, categorized by HCPCS code numbers and long descriptions, to determine whether each is or is not within the realm of devices subject to the Board's regulatory authority granted by ORC Chapter 4779. In its review, the Board members were asked to determine whether each coded device clearly required custom fitting (bringing it within regulatory authority), and/or whether each might meet one or more of the exceptions listed in ORC §4779.01 (D).
