Hi all

I am seeking your advice regarding the billing of orthodigital devices through DVA.

For many years I have used the code F211-Orthodigital traction device for Otoform K 2-4 digital props. I have recently been informed by DVA that this is not correct.The reasoning: given the cost of an 800g tub of silicone putty + catalyst is $88 that item code is not intended for use for custom moulded silicone putty. Instead the item code F342-Interdigital wedge is the more appropriate code as it more accurately reflects the product used and corresponding fee.

I disagree with this statement as I believe that the custom moulded silicone putty prop is significantly different and more complex than the I/D wedge. For a start there is 3-4 times the quantity of putty! By the same reasoning DVA will have us billing for simple insoles when making custom orthotics because a sheet of poly is only $39!

I am interested to know your thoughts regarding these statements and how you use the item codes.

Cheers

 

Welcome to your first post! Well done!

DVA!! Good Luck! Interesting what they will and want pay for now?

Cost verse value - no logic there?

Look forward to hearing what others are doing!

Thanks for bringing this up!
