Text:
I am about to make an aqualeg for a BK amputee. This is for a 26 year old
female who has always loved water sports. She has Medicare coverage. I have
very recently
fitted her with a new endoskeletal BK prosthesis, Iceross sleeve suspension,
dynamic response foot. I have read articles on aqualegs, discussed them with
patients, but it has been a while since I provided one for a patient.
My questions are these:
1) Can I use the same mold?
2) What is the best way to build an aqualeg?
3) What articles have been written on the subject?
4) What codes are used to bill an aqualeg?
5) Will Medicare allow an aqualeg for the above patient?
Thank you all, in advance, for your responses.
