Good Morning:
I have been trying to find the Medicare policy guidelines for coverage and
payment on providing custom dynamic knee orthoses such as Ultraflex for
knee flexion contractures. I am not finding anything on the Medicare
website or I am not looking in the right place. I seem to remember that you
have to document ROM progress before providing the orthosis. Does anyone
know the specifics? I will post responses.
Thanks,
Eric Schwelke CPO LPO
