Hello list,
I was asked to provide an AFO for a patient in a Gero Psych unit at a local hospital. He is in the facility under Medicare but for a psych eval. He has a long standing leg problem and needs the AFO for ankle stability. Do I bill the hospital because he's in there under Medicare or do I bill Medicare because he is in a Gero Psych unit unrelated to his foot ankle problem. Thanks
