Greetings everyone,
I’m in region A and I am wondering how my fellow Practioners are handling the updated AFO/KAFO LCD that states in the Policy Article section:
In addition, if the item is custom fabricated, a complete and clear description of the item, including what makes this item unique, and a breakdown of charges (material and labor used in fabrication). This information should be entered in the narrative field of an electronic claim.
I personally feel this is extremely burdensome. Plus I have serious concerns with Medicare wanting a breakdown of charges.
Respectfully,
Joe
