Hi list serve,
I just wanted to publically thank Otto bock and give others some hope .
We have followed their format suggested in responding to the audits and we have had a 80% success rate in the first round! I'm confident we will beat the others using this format even if it goes all the way to the ALJ.
We had one case that was a bilateral (fyi- the lcd only applies to unilateral amputees) and Otto Bock's reimbursement team helped us find the research studies to cite in defending our audit.
Since we have not dealt with these heavy handed audits before, if we did not use Otto bocks format I do not believe our success rate in the first round would be so high.
