We have a physician prescribing a CROW style AFO.  Her diagnoses are  neuropathy and tarsometatarsal joints fractures.  He wants her in a brace that will position her for healing and keep her mobile.  She has a diagnosis from another physician (not this one) that says possible Charcot.  Not using the Charcot, but the 356.9 and 838.03, can we bill with codes for a clamshell walker type AFO that will look like the old CROW codes?  Any place I can look this up? Thank you,
Debra Adams, Ofc. Mgr.
