I have a patient that needs a soft, flexible, custom ankle gauntlet with silicone lined footbed and an accomodation for a partial calcanectomy. Pt's foot was mangled by a lawn mower. Pt. had one made by Hanger in Florida which worked OK, but recently had a surgical revision. Pt. is very sensative to pressure. I would like a zipper closure.
Another question regarding reimbursement. This pt. is a dependent of an active service member. How would you recommend billing this device to TriCare for adequate reimbursement and have any of you been paid for these. I know these aren't cheap to have made and would rather not lose money on the deal.
Thanks for your time and replies.
