List,
My billing staff just received a Medicare retraction letter for L5655 Pelite
Liner from 3/2011 (over 2.5 years ago). The letter states to refund $, that
it is not medically necessary and that we should have known not to bill.
A quick google search & scan of the LCD and policy article for LL
prosthetics reveals nothing unusual for this code. It is still listed as a
covered code. There was never an audit or an inquiry, just this retraction
letter now. We use this code so rarely. Anyone else get one of these
letters or know anything that perhaps changed in regards to the Pelite liner
code?
