We have encountered a recent question concerning the L-code 5850 (Ultra-light materials) when coding for a AK prosthesis.
The question......Can the L-code 5850 be utilized for the socket design and again for the knee unit within the same claim? If not, then how do you receive proper reimbursement for the knee unit?
Any assistance, comments or documentation is greatly appreciated!
