A passive prosthesis is not unusual for upper extremity.

I have a request for a transfemoral passive prosthesis to be worn while
in a wheel chair in public areas.

The patient/client is not a candidate for a real prosthesis. We
intend to use pediatric components for this 96# lady.

Our problem is billing. Family would like to use Medicare. I don't
think it's legal. Vanity is not a medical justification.

We don't find any LE L-code's for such a thing? Has anyone billed one of
these? How? Thanks!
