Hernia/Abdominal Support

Hello List,

 

Does anyone know if Medicare will cover a custom abdominal binder/hernia
support? I have reviewed codes and thought is that is needs to be coded at
L1499 with a full description..patient has L&R side colostomy bags with
large uncontrolled abdominal hernia - not a surgical candidate at this
time..not sure if Medicare would even cover such an item?

 

We are assuming we need to do an ABN have patient pay and submit for him to
possibly be reimbursed. If anyone has any information or suggestions we
would appreciate the input.

 

Thank you~
