Dear List,
We would like to know how practitioners are handling patients who purchase
componentry online. We currently have a patient who would like to purchase
a C-leg off of Ebay for $3000.
If you have dealt with this situation, we would be interested in hearing
how you handled it, specifically:
1. Are you billing for the time you spend programming the knee? If so, what
codes are you using?
2. How are you handling servicing of the knee? Is this something Otto Bock
will even allow?
Thanks for any advice. I will re-post all replies.
Cheers,
Kinsey Herrin
