We billed Medicare for repairs for one of our patients that has a C-Leg. We billed about $8000 for the repairs and Medicare only allowed around $600. We appealed the claim all the way to an ALJ Hearing level. At the hearing level the decision was favorable, but we are still waiting for payment and the repairs were done over a year ago. We have found that if the C-Leg is out of warranty it is easier to get Medicare to pay to replace it then to pay to repair it.
