hello
Pt is 50 y/o in nursing home. Dx: MS. Nursing and PT requested KAFOs to treat
LE contractures. MD agrees. Insurance is medicare/medicaid. We understand
that Medicare will not cover KAFOs for non-ambulatory patients. And now New York
Medicaid will not cover if Medicare denies.
My Question: Does any body know if there are any codes Medicare will accept
to treat this patient?
Thanks in advance,
