insure a prosthesis?

Hello everyone:
Two questions from the same individual. 1) He'd like to get his
transfemoral prosthesis insure against fire, theft and flood, but his home
owners will not allow it to be itemized. Any specialized insurance programs
available for prosthetic devices? Or any suggestions? 2) This individual
would like to extend the warranties of the knee and foot, but have Medicare
pay for it(?!). Has anyone had any success with this, and if so...how would
it be coded/described?
It was a strange day, for sure. Thank you for your time and responses.
Respectfully,
Rick Milen, CP
