Thoughts on DME prescriptions for diapers?

10 Upvotes

Honestly, this is just a rant session for me. Our clinic now has a care management team who cold call families and see what additional needs they may have. Cool. Awesome service. However lately they've been pushing for free diapers through aeroflow for every 3 yr old that is not toilet trained. I completely understand the need in developmentally challenge kiddos, but most of the requests are for capable kids and completely medically unnecessary. And I feel like I get unnecessary push back when I refuse to sign the orders. I've explained that's it's inappropriate for nonclincal staff to pursue a management plan that requires my license but they're response is "it's just diapers" 😡 . Am I overreacting?

Hi! Wondering if anyone know of any Peds Endocrinology Fellowship Programs that will for sure transition to 2 years of fellowship? Just wanting to understand where I can apply that would offer that option. Thank you!
