Original question:
Hi-
What is the proper way to code a myoelectric BE, rigid frame only, with
locking liner? The best I can find is:
   L6925 Wrist disarticulation, external power, self-suspended inner socket,
removable forearm shell, otto bock or equal electrodes, cables, two
batteries and one charger, myoelectronic control of terminal device
which doesn't really fit what I am providing.


  Hi Jeremiah, I just did one last week these are what I used; L
6400,6925,6629,6692,6680,6890,6698 7007. hope that
