DME coding dilemma

Hi,

Medicare does not accept an L code because a PDAC letter is required but
commercial payors have no such requirement. So question is do you change the
code for commercial too just because Medicare criteria is not met…? It’s a
grey area because per coding guidelines you have to be consistent in billing
the right code. What is your opinion about this.

Thanks,
