Re: ICD-9 codes

I was hoping maybe someone can help me. We submitted two claims to Medicare
for Knee braces, one was a bilateral. They are refusing to pay sayingthat
there is more info needed such as physicians notes etc, and that this
particular code from what I can understand is being overused or possibly
abused (L1845) wellthis is not a Custom molded knee brace so I have to use
this brace for a resonable reimbursement. Is anyone else having these
problems and are you eventually getting paid when you send in the required
info to Medicare?? Thanks for any and all input, I am at my wits end here.
