Dear List Members: A while back I posted a question about medicare
coverage for a pair of orthopedic shoes, when the patient has a
prosthesis on one side. Someone posted this response:
>If the patient has Medicare, according to a letter from the DMERC
>Medical directors the shoes are both covered even though the patient has
>a prosthesis on one side. You would use A codes.>
Could this person, or anyone who knows about such a letter from the
DMERC Medical Directors, please contact me directly at
<Email Address Redacted>
Thanks.
