KAFO for medicaid nonambulator

Troy Fink, CO

hello

Pt is 50 y/o in nursing home. Dx: MS. Nursing and PT requested KAFOs to treat LE contractures. MD agrees. Insurance is medicare/medicaid. We understand that Medicare will not cover KAFOs for non-ambulatory patients. And now New York Medicaid will not cover if Medicare denies.

My Question: Does any body know if there are any codes Medicare will accept to treat this patient?

Thanks in advance,
