Hi,
What is the average period or prolonged period for which a lower limb prosthesis is indicated for use. For Medicare is there anywhere where this period of use is listed or recommended?
If a provider gives a new prosthesis after 3 years due to wear and tear are the prosthetic's notes acceptable or does the ordering physicians notes also have to support this need...? What are your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Padma Annaldasula CPC
