From the responses I've gotten it seems that few are aware of the change
in billing procedures for custom walking boot such as the CROW. Quoting
from the Region B February Supplier Bulletin
>Custom fabricated walking boots must be billed with code L2999 and must
>be accompanied by information identifying the manufacturer and model name
>(if applicable), the indication(s) for use of the boot, and an explanation
>of why a prefabricated walking boot is not sufficient. Walking boots must
>not be billed with other ankle-foot Orthoses codes, including but not
>limited to L2106-L2116, or with codes for therapeutic shoes
