Hi all,
I have a long term paraplegic patient who is wheelchair bound and who uses an LSO for trunk support.  She has some scoliosis and uses the same old LSOs that she's used for 30 years, all custom fabricated due to her anatomy.  She wants me to make new ones but Medicare, in it's infinite wisdom, no longer has a fee for L0629, LSO flexible with steel stays, custom fabricated.  Anyone made and billed for these recently and if so, what codes or what results?  Of course she is covered by Medicare.  Thanks.
