I have several patients that have signed up for ACA plans. So far, all Blue
Cross plans.

First patient was Trans-Tibial and went without a hitch.

Have two trans-Femoral patients that went through Auth for MPK knee's and
were denied because MPK's are *NOT A COVERED BENEFIT!*

How is this possible with *prosthetic parity *that they can exclude MPK's?
