Now... Let's discuss what makes a Medically Indicated Brace different from braces that are not medically indicated and do not meet the codes. A brace is prescribed to treat a specific medical diagnosis. If it is not appropriate for that disorder, it would not be effective or appropriately medically indicated, therefore, it may not be covered by insurance because it does not meet the code. Some braces are questionable as they are built to treat other diagnoses so they may be uncomfortable, cumbersome or actually worsen conditions since they are too restrictive or ill fitting. Finding the right brace can make all the difference, both for the patient and getting paid. |
