All You Want to Know About Custom Orthotics
Billing
Most providers involved in the field of orthotics
and prosthetics are concerned about billing for
orthoses. This is especially true for OP
providers because the burden of getting paid for
services rendered frequently falls squarely on
their shoulders. Such concerns would not have
existed in a cash-only practice. But that is not
the case. A modern practice must recoup costs
from the patient's insurance provider. This
includes preparing and submitting a formal claim
for reimbursement. Thats why it is crucial to
know everything about custom orthotics billing.

Custom Foot Orthotics Insurance Coverage

• CPT CODE 97760 - Examination, Designing,
  Casting, and Education
• HCPCS CODE L3000 - Foot, removable insert, molded
  to patient model, 'UCB' type.
• HCPCS CODE L3030 - Foot, removable insert, formed
  to patient foot, each
• (MODIFIER Left and Right Foot will be billed
  separately i.e., L3030RT for the right foot,
  L3030LT for the left foot)
• CPT CODE 97762 - Check-in - Dispensing and
  Fitting
• The patient's health plan benefit language and
  guidelines will determine whether these codes are
  covered (as opposed to a low-level E/M service or
  no coverage at all).
• Obviously, if custom foot orthotics are not
  covered items under a plan, these codes are
  ineffective for evaluating those non-covered
  orthoses. Custom foot orthotics will not be
  covered by Medicare.

Custom Orthotics Billing Challenges
Drafting a 'perfect' claim - one that is
complete, accurate, and will not be rejected by
the insurance payer - necessitates a high level
of precision and precise knowledge of billing
norms and procedures. Understanding coding
caveats is the most important of these. It is
critical for practice, for example, to be able to
differentiate between CPTs and L codes, or to
understand what Insurance Company A will pay for
that Insurance Company B will not. There are also
other factors to consider. Right-foot and
left-foot orthotics must be coded and billed on
separate claim form lines with the appropriate
code and the appropriate "-RT" or "-LT"
modifiers. It's a good idea to double-check with
the provider if the codes provided aren't
adequate for accurately describing the orthotic
services done for the patient. It is risky to
assume that a catch-all or unlisted code (such as
CPT 29799unlisted casting code) can be used
discriminately, especially when a more
appropriate code exists.

Expert Assistance Is Required!
Coding errors can result in lost earnings and
revenue and if they occur too frequently, the
impact on profitability can be negative. Of
course, providers are aware of this and work hard
to outsource experienced custom orthotics billers
and coders in order to reduce such losses.
However, expertise comes at a cost, and it's
often a high one. A growing number of Orthotics
Prosthetics practices are outsourcing their
billing operations to specialized, third-party
service providers in order to reduce staff costs
while achieving the best results in billing
coding. Strategic outsourcing of key custom
orthotics billing activities to specialized,
offshore billing experts can work wonders in
drastically bringing down operational costs while
allowing providers to enjoy top quality results
minus all the usual hassles. The most significant
benefit of using a dedicated custom orthotics
billing company is that providers can instantly
access a large pool of skilled billing personnel
at a much lower cost than regular, in-house
staff.
