My question was:
Can anyone please share with me their experience with Medicare
coverage/reimbursement for a C-Leg fitting?
Responses follow:
=======================================================
I had no problems at all in our region, (region B ) although reimbursement
(80% of allowables) barely covers the cost of the leg itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We had no trouble getting paid from Medicare here in NJ. Blue cross blue
shield
also paid the copayment without a problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ted-I've had no problem with Medicare--some with the secondary insurers.
=======================================================
Thank you to all who responded. This is very helpful.
