Dear Colleagues,
Is there a way to bill Medicare for a spinal orthosis with a hot/cold gel pack attached? Spine surgeons order these for patients about to have decompression surgery, for use immediately after the surgery. The orthosis has an L-code, but is there a way for an orthotist to bill the gel pack attached to it?
Thanks, in advance, for your responses.
Regards,
David Hendricks
