Hi everyone!
I was Just curious of experience with medicare covering L7499 for a MCP driver by naked prosthetics. Rules/coverage is so vague and it seems like you just get to cross your fingers about what you’ll get paid. We have great documentation so it’s not a matter of it being documented and covered it’s just difficult to clarify what we will get end up getting paid and naked prosthetics made it clear that they’ve seen it get covered at Prosthetists asking price, not covered at all, and everywhere in between.
It seems like a significant dice roll so I was curious what people’s experiences might have been with Medicare and MCP drivers.
Thanks so much!!
