Liners for Preps

Liners for Preps

I just spoke with AOPA about silicone liners on preparatory prostheses. Apparently the liner codes are no longer on the list of codes excluded by CMS for use on preparatories, but they have not necessarily been identified as covered items. In other words, their absence from the list of excluded codes does not necessarily mean that we will be paid. The question is, has anyone recently had success billing Medicare for silicone liners on preps?

Thanks.
