Resonses:Medi-Cal reimbursement for energy feet

Randall McFarland, CPO

Original question:

I'd be interested in hearing your experiences when faced with an active
younger amputee on Medi-cal/CalOptima. Which (if any) energy storing feet
have you found to be cost effective and of benefit to the client?
Any experience in billing Medical/CalOptima for L5980 FlexFoot system?

I have had numerous Medi-Cal Flex Foot products paid for.  You have to
justify it very well and speak with a Medi-Cal rep directly.  Use the Flex
Foot medical necessity disc to get a really informative letter off it.  It
will help.

I have had great success with the Kingsley carbon keel and Endolite ankle
combination. I have a patient who is very active and has had this combination
on him for 6 years with one ankle rebuild.
