I Need advice.
I have a pt who has worn a double upright brace for primary osteoarthritis
and has had the same one for 10 years. She is in need of a new brace, but
back in May 2021 her podiatrist gave her a figure eight ankle brace L1902
for posterior tibial tendonitis.
I know it will deny as same similar but my hangup is in the difference in
diagnosis purposes. What is your opinion on the justification for
physiological change in condition with the two different diagnosis codes?
Will that be enough to overturn this?
Thank you
