Summary: The Amputee Coalition, a nonprofit organization serving people with limb loss, urges CMS to preserve and strengthen the current Essential Health Benefits (EHB) framework. They argue that robust EHB protections are necessary to ensure consistent and predictable access to medically necessary prosthetic and orthotic care, which is vital for the health, mobility, and independence of individuals with limb differences.
