Wiki Custom orthotic - billing guidelines

[amrb136]

When billing the insurance carrier for orthotics, what date of service do you use....the date impression was taken or date orthotic was dispensed?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

The DME code we bill the day the impression is made.

The day dispensed we do the orthotic fitting/training code 97760.

Hope that helps you!

According to CMS, and most other carriers, a provider should bill the supply code using the date dispensed.
