We unpack what that clarity means for clinicians, patients, vendors, and payers, and how to adopt 3D printing.• Why PDAC’s language ends the gray area for 3D‑printed prosthetics• What PDAC and DME MAC do and how they shape coding• How to match additive devices to existing L code descriptions• Documentation discipline to avoid denials and audits• FDA’s proactive stance and signals to industry• Medicare vs Medicare Advantage realities for reimbursement• When new codes help vs when they stall at zero pay• Scaling care amid workforce shortages using digital workflows• Using additive to improve fit, speed, and repeatability• Practical steps to start: scanning, CAD, materials, recordsSpecial thanks to Advanced 3D for sponsoring this episode.Support the show
