Hi everyone we billed a Medicaid pediatric patient for a BE arm, with a voluntary opening hand. We used L6708LT as the code. It came back with the hand not being paid because it required a report. Does anyone know what they are looking for? Are they looking for LMN, description of the hand, or doctor's notes. Is there additional modifiers we need to use? We also got denied on the ultralight material code. Is this normal that they don't pay for that? Thank you for your help. Paula Martinek, LPO
