I am interested in hearing the responses from Blue Choice/ Blue Cross Blue Shield and their reimbursements on this brace. The suggested L-codes given by Townsend for the Custom Premier brace are a long list of codes and we are finding that the insurance companies are denying for NOT Medically Necessary and are saying that the patient can be fit with an off the shelf brace. The key factor here is that our doc's are specifically sending the patients over for a Custom Townsend ACL brace. I pose a few questions?
1-Are we the only facility with this problem?
2-What codes are you using in favor or opposition of what Townsend suggests? ie (L1846, L2820, L2830, L2385, L2435, L2770 & L2755)
