Just a quick question regarding the Region C January 31, 2013 notice from CMS/CGS. It states that L5828, L5845, L5848, and L5856 are the only valid codes for a C-leg. Note this does not include L5930 (Hi-activity knee frame). Is this correct? It was my understanding that the C-leg has a Hi-activity knee frame and that was why CMS/CGS was requiring K-level 4 functional level to reimburse for it. Is CMS/CGS in error?
