Medicare not paying for L1845

Text:

Hi list,

I have a question I sure hope someone can answer. I have a patient that
received a Knee brace uused L1845 with a Diagnosis of 717.83. they denied
saying not enough medical information to warrant such a brace, well they want
doctors notes etc.

Has anyone had problems with this code and what Diagnosis did anyone use.
This patient has Knee Sprain/old ACL.

Thanks in Advance
