Dear list,
I had some misunderstandings regarding the L3020 billing code and its correct application, not anymore! I want to thank all those that took the time to reply. I have a clear understanding that L3020's are covered when they are an integral part attached to an Orthosis. Medicare will not cover them any other time. The reason this code is listed as covered by Medicare is for that use only. A GY modifier should be used as part of the billing procedure not a KX modifier.
I appreciate this forum and all those taking the time to respond, I have learned much over the years.
