Hello List,
We recently received the following response from our local VA regarding the
alignable system code:
You cannot use L5920 to replace a single component on a socket replacement.
L5920 is to be used for a complete new prosthesis. With a socket
replacement, you would use L5999..
I am inquiring as to if this is also AOPA's or Medicare's interpretation of
the code? Thank you in advance for your replies,
