The Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for your region ultimately determines the appropriateness of reimbursement of a particular product, for a particular patient, given the appropriate diagnosis.

DeRoyal orthopedic products are primarily reimbursable as “off-the-shelf” orthotics and should be coded accordingly. However, in certain circumstances, some DeRoyal orthopedic products may be modified significantly by the supplier or healthcare professional in order to specifically tailor the fit or function of the orthosis to a particular patient. In some of these cases, the orthosis may be reimbursable as “custom fitted.” DeRoyal strongly cautions suppliers or healthcare professionals to ensure that any items submitted as “custom-fitted” meet all the criteria applicable to the appropriate utilization of that designation and related codes.
