Questions & Answers
Ask a Question-
If the brace says "left" on it, is it for the left leg only? My patient's doctor ordered this brace for her right leg but it says left on it. The only way to fit it on the right knee is to turn it upside down. Is it made to do that? The directions are difficult to understand and I have been a PT for over 3 decades!
It will fit on the outside of the left knee, or the inside of the right knee.

Is Medicare . Will Medicare help pay for it ?
We do not work directly with Medicare for re-imbursement. The manufacturer of this brace does have it HCPC coded as a L1851 device, so it is reimbursable through medicare.
