I have recently received a referral for a pectus carinatum orthosis. I would
like to use the sternal compression orthosis that seems to be the widely
recommended orthosis of choice. However, I am dealing with a state Medicaid
program that will be difficult (at best) to get auth for a miscellaneous
code. I understand, if correct, that there is no L code for this particular
device. Does anyone have experience billing one of these, and if so, what
code is used? Is there another recommended orthosis that might have a
billable code?
Happy New Year!
