?I have a nice lady who is diabetic with a right first toe amputation who is in need of a toe filler prosthesis. She has a wound under the first MTH and requires offloading. I'd like to install a carbon plate to the prosthesis to restore her great toe leverarm and reduce the amount of pressure she is placing on the first met head. On the left I am making her the medicare standard of 3 diabetic insoles as well. Is there a way to bill the plate and toe filler so that medicare will cover it? Please let me know.
