Myoelectric and Medicaid

Good afternoon List-serve,

I have a young male transhumeral amputee (cancer), single father of one, was working but after amputation is now on public aid. Has anyone from VA gotten authorization AND payment for a myoelectric (not hybrid) prosthesis with a patient on Medicaid?

Thanks in advance,

Rick Stapleton, CPO
