Many prosthetic offices have asked me for a new coding suggestion for
Hypobaric Interfaces after code L8490 was discontinued.
CMS, after a careful review (and Public Meeting) of our request to reinstate
L-Code 8490 for Hypobaric Interfaces determined that the appropriate new
code for use should be L5679 - ADDITION TO LOWER EXTREMITY, BELOW
KNEE/ABOVE KNEE, CUSTOM FABRICATED FROM EXISTING MOLD OR PREFABRICATED,
SOCKET INSERT, SILICONE GEL, ELASTOMERIC OR EQUAL, NOT FOR USE WITH LOCKING
MECHANISM
If any one is interested in a copy of the letter from CMS to Hypobaric
Systems for your own billing departments please respond to this email and
include your fax number (or give me a call at 800-468-8082) and I'll fax it
right over.
Thanks
