Reimbursement is based on the lesser of the amount billed or the Title XIX (Medicaid) maximum charge allowed. State developed fee schedule rates are the same for both public and private providers of orthotic appliances and prosthetic devices.
Effective for dates of service occurring on and after September 1, 2006, reimbursement rate maximums for Medicaid covered orthotic appliances and prosthetic devises are based on one hundred percent (100%) of the 2006 DMEPOS Medicare rates.
For the following procedure codes not reflecting a rate on the 2006 DMEPOS Medicare fee schedule, reimbursement rate maximums for dates of service occurring September 1, 2006, and after, will be based on one hundred percent (100%) of the 2006 Arkansas Blue Cross/Blue Shield rate:
A5510 = $30.28, L0452 = $263.81, L3202 = $51.21, L3204 = $50.12, L3206 = $51.93, L3207 = $52.67, L3208 = $28.58, L3209 = $39.53, L3211 = $42.11, L3215 = $93.94, L3216 = $113.29, L3219 = $105.26, L3221 = $126.00, L3222 = $139.22, L3230 = $163.33, L3250 = $331.47, L3253 = $44.64, L3257 = $32.95, L3265 = $20.54, L3902 = $1,980.19, L4205 = $35.00, L4210 = $28.27, L7500 = $67.55, L7520 = $15.00
Effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2023, reimbursement rate maximums for orthotic appliances and prosthetic devices will be set at ninety percent (90%) of the January 1, 2022 Medicare non-rural rate for the State of Arkansas. For orthotic and prosthetic codes not listed on the Medicare fee schedule, reimbursement rate maximums for dates of service on or after January 1, 2023, will be set at eighty percent (80%) of the January 1, 2022, Arkansas Blue Cross/Blue Shield rate, or manually priced.
