Thanks to all those who responded.

Original question:

Who knows where I can find guidelines for bill Medicare for a prosthesis
order that was cancelled after the final test socket fitting? Patient
passed away after the fitting.

The consensus was that the information is contained in the Medical Policy
Manual. Information will be found on page 11-12, section 20.3 - Artificial
Limbs, Braces, and Other Custom Made Items Ordered But Not Furnished. Link:
