Hello all I have a patient who is non ambulatory and his bilateral non fixed knee contractures that the therapist is trying to stretch and prevent further progression. I am looking up Medicare's rules and am finding that apparently the only items really covered in the custom range is L1834, custom orthosis without knee joint if the primary diagnosis is a knee contracture. Has anyone been successful in billing custom knee orthoses in this instance and if so what did you provide? How about pre-fabricated? Thank you very much for your help.
