By understanding reimbursement pathways and the payor landscape, clinicians and administrators can better advocate for coverage, helping to ensure that patients benefit from innovative prosthetic technologies designed to improve their quality of life. This session provides critical insights into Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System L6700, a newly approved reimbursement code representing the integration of myoelectric pattern recognition within an upper limb prosthesis.
Attendees will gain insights into the clinical benefits of pattern recognition, complexities of the L6700 code, and practical strategies for securing reimbursement. Presenters will discuss how standardized processes and best practices can streamline approvals, helping patients receive the support they need while empowering healthcare providers to navigate the evolving reimbursement system with confidence.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this program, learners will be able to:
- Define pattern recognition technology and explain how it enhances upper limb prosthetic control, improving functionality and independence for patients
- List the purpose and benefits of the newly approved reimbursement code L6700
- Develop strategies to effectively communicate the clinical benefits for patients using pattern recognition technology
