On This Page

Repair coverage criteria overview: Repair of a medically necessary orthotic or component not under warranty will be considered medically appropriate when physician documentation includes required elements and functional justification (see detailed criteria).

See Repair — Medical Necessity Criteria for explicit elements.

inv-03: Investigational devices

Investigational / not covered enhanced devices

Investigational devices: Electronic/electromagnetic activated stance control KAFO devices (e.g., OttoBock E‑Mag Active, OttoBock 17B500 Sensor Walk, OttoBock C‑Brace, Neuro HiSwing), myoelectric and/or power‑enhanced upper extremity orthotic devices (e.g., MyoPro, Carbonhand), and powered exoskeleton orthoses (e.g., ReWalk, EksoNR, Indego personal exoskeletons) are considered investigational and not covered.

Listed devices treated as investigational per policy.

inv-04: Repair — Medical Necessity Criteria

Repair is covered when ALL of the following are met

Physician documentation includes date of device implantation/initiation AND manufacturer warranty information, if applicable, AND an attestation that the patient has been compliant with use of the device and will continue to benefit from its use.

All listed documentation elements required

Device function and repair expectation: The device is no longer functioning adequately AND inadequate function interferes with activities of daily living AND repair is expected to make the equipment fully functional as defined by the manufacturer.

Three‑part functional requirement

inv-05: Replacement — Medical Necessity Criteria

Replacement is covered when EITHER of the following are met

Nonrepairable or costly repair: The device is no longer functioning adequately and has been determined to be nonrepairable, or the cost of the repair is in excess of the replacement cost.

Either condition suffices

Changed patient condition: There is documentation that a change in the patient's condition makes the present unit nonfunctional and improvement is expected with a replacement unit.

Clinical change justification required

inv-06: Not Medically Necessary — Functioning Device Replacement

Replacement of properly functioning device: Replacement of a properly functioning orthotic, its components, or accessories (including replacement for advanced technology or aesthetic reasons) is considered not medically necessary.

Explicit NMN statement

inv-07: Coverage guidance by device type

Coverage decisions depend on device type, FDA clearance, demonstrated functional benefit in objective measures, appropriate training/supervision, and documented trial of device when applicable.

Microprocessor‑controlled lower limb orthoses (e.g., C‑Brace, L2006): Evidence from randomized crossover and multicenter trials demonstrates improvements in balance (BBS) and some functional gains for selected patients; coverage may be considered when ALL of the following are met: (1) patient has lower‑limb paresis/weakness from neurologic, neuromuscular, orthopedic disease, or trauma; (2) documented inability or limited function with conventional KAFO/AFO that the device aims to improve; (3) patient can participate in acclimation/training and meet device trial tool criteria; (4) objective baseline and post‑trial outcomes (e.g., BBS, 6MWT, DGI, SAI) are documented; (5) for personal exoskeletons, documentation that FDA companion/supervision requirements can be met.

Supported by Deems‑Dluhy 2021 and Ruetz 2024 trials; see cited studies

Myoelectric upper‑extremity orthoses (e.g., MyoPro, A8005/A8006): Limited evidence from cohort and retrospective studies shows improvements in upper‑limb function when used with therapist‑guided training and a documented home exercise program. Coverage may be considered when ALL of the following are met: (1) patient has chronic stroke or TBI with residual upper‑extremity impairment; (2) device is used as part of a structured rehabilitation plan including therapist supervision; (3) objective baseline and follow‑up outcome measures are documented.

Evidence limited by small sample sizes and sponsor support

Powered exoskeletons (EAW/EXO, K1007, E0738/E0739): High‑quality evidence is insufficient to demonstrate consistent QoL or physical health improvements for unsupervised home/community use; institutional supervised rehabilitation use may be considered when ALL of the following are met: (1) device is FDA‑cleared for the intended rehabilitation indication; (2) use occurs under trained clinician supervision in a rehabilitation setting; (3) patient selection matches trial populations (e.g., SCI, stroke per FDA indications); (4) program documents training, companion availability if required, and measurable outcome assessments. Personal/home use requires demonstration that companion/safety requirements and adequate device use are feasible.

Based on systematic review and VA RCT; supervision and training emphasized

inv-08: General coverage and billing

Policy statements and scope (partial document):

Code listing requirement: Devices must be billed with the listed HCPCS codes; policy includes numerous HCPCS code ranges and specific codes for powered and microprocessor devices.

See coding module for full list.

Contract dependence: Coverage applicability is contract dependent; if a product does not cover a service, medical policy criteria do not apply.

Product lines have specific notes in product disclaimer.

Orthotic devices prescribed solely for athletic or occupational activities are not intended to treat or restore impaired body function. Accordingly, such devices may be considered not medically necessary or ineligible for coverage when the sole purpose is sports- or work-related use rather than therapeutic restoration, protection, or improvement of activities of daily living.

The policy treats provision of multiple devices for the same body part and identical function as medically unnecessary. Specifically, more than one (1) orthotic device per body part used for the same function is considered a convenience for the member and is therefore not medically necessary.

Repair or replacement requests for orthotic equipment that were damaged due to patient neglect, theft, or abuse are ineligible for coverage. Likewise, if another source of coverage is available (for example, homeowners, rental, auto, or liability insurance), the claim for repair or replacement will be denied as ineligible for coverage.

Accessories or components that the peer-reviewed literature deems not medically necessary or investigational will be treated the same by the Health Plan. Such items are therefore considered not medically necessary or investigational and are not covered under this policy.

Wearable devices intended for unsupervised use in the home or community (for example, personal exoskeletons) have limited evidence of benefit outside supervised rehabilitation settings. When devices require an FDA‑mandated companion, clinician supervision, or documented training to be used safely and effectively, coverage is unlikely if those supervision/companion requirements cannot be met or if studies fail to demonstrate adequate benefit. Such circumstances may render the device not covered for unsupervised home/community use.

Coverage under this medical policy is subject to the member’s product contract. If a specific product line does not cover a service, the medical policy criteria do not apply; coverage decisions in those situations are contract dependent.

Certain enhanced devices are listed as investigational and not covered. Examples include electronic/electromagnetic activated stance control KAFOs (e.g., Ottobock E‑Mag Active, Sensor Walk, C‑Brace), myoelectric or power‑enhanced upper extremity orthoses (e.g., MyoPro, Carbonhand), and powered exoskeleton orthoses (e.g., ReWalk, EksoNR, Indego). These devices are treated as investigational under this policy.

Replacement of a properly functioning orthotic, any of its components, or accessories—whether for newer technology features or for aesthetic reasons—is considered not medically necessary and is not covered.

Personal exoskeletons intended for unsupervised home and community use have not demonstrated consistent improvements in quality of life or patient‑reported outcomes in current trials. Where adequate evidence of benefit or feasible companion/supervision arrangements are lacking, these devices are considered not covered for unsupervised personal use.

No additional explicit not‑medically‑necessary conditions are stated in the referenced source chunks for this placeholder item.

Provider Actions, Documentation & Billing

Prior Authorization

Custom device documentation required

Custom orthotic devices require detailed clinical information demonstrating the member cannot perform activities of daily living with standard orthotic devices; provide the patient's overall medical condition and rationale for a non‑standard device when requesting coverage.

Prior Authorization

Replacement authorization: nonrepairable or changed condition

Replacement is covered when EITHER the device is nonrepairable or the cost of repair exceeds replacement cost, OR there is documentation that a change in the patient's condition makes the present unit nonfunctional and improvement is expected with replacement.

Prior Authorization

Prior authorization required for listed HCPCS codes

Prior authorization is required for coverage determinations for the listed HCPCS codes and devices; annotated codes in the policy (E/I or NMN) require review of clinical documentation and justification.

Submit prior authorization with supporting clinical documentation for codes such as A8005, A8006, A9279, E0738, E0739, K1007, L2006, L2221.

Billing Rule

Code usage and prior authorization note

Providers must bill using the specific HCPCS codes listed in the policy; code edits and additions are noted and prior authorization requirements may be product‑dependent per contract.

Newly added codes (e.g., A8005/A8006, L2221) are effective 04/01/26 and must be used where applicable.
Prior authorization may vary by product/contract—verify contract-specific requirements.

Step Therapy

Standard before custom devices

Coverage favors trial and use of standard orthotic devices first; custom devices will be reviewed only when standard devices are inadequate to support activities of daily living.

Step Therapy

Repair preferred when cost‑effective

Consider repair before replacement when the cost of repair is less than replacement; replacement is appropriate only if the device is nonrepairable or repair costs exceed replacement.

Note

Institutional rehabilitation device intent

Devices cleared for institutional rehabilitation use (e.g., EksoGT/EksoNR) are intended for supervised therapy in rehabilitation settings and imply use under trained clinician supervision per FDA indications.

Document that use will occur in a supervised rehabilitation program consistent with the device's FDA clearance.

Note

Services are contract dependent

Providers should note contract applicability and verify whether the product covers the requested service because policy criteria do not apply when a product excludes the service.

If a product does not cover a service, medical policy criteria are not applicable.

Documentation Required

Required documentation for repairs

For repair of a medically necessary orthotic not under warranty, include physician documentation of the date of device initiation/implantation, manufacturer warranty information (if applicable), and an attestation that the patient has been compliant with device use and will continue to benefit.

Date of device initiation/implantation
Manufacturer warranty information, if applicable
Physician attestation of patient compliance and expected continued benefit

Documentation Required

Physician warranty and compliance attestation for repair

Physician documentation must explicitly state manufacturer warranty information (when applicable) and include an attestation that the member has been compliant with device use and will continue to benefit from it.

Documentation Required

Functional status and repair expectation

Documentation must demonstrate the device is no longer functioning adequately, that the inadequate function interferes with activities of daily living, and that repair is expected to restore full function as defined by the manufacturer.

Evidence that device function interferes with ADLs
Statement that repair is expected to make equipment fully functional per manufacturer definition

Documentation Required

Documentation for trials, training, and acclimation

Include evidence of device trial suitability, training and acclimation periods, and objective outcome measures (e.g., Berg Balance Scale, 6MWT, DGI, Stair Assessment Index) when applicable to support device benefit.

Document trial tool results and prescribed training plan
Provide baseline and follow‑up objective measures (BBS, 6MWT, DGI, SAI) where relevant

Billing Rule

Billing requirement: use listed HCPCS codes (A8005/A8006/L2221)

Bill using the specific HCPCS codes listed for devices; the policy explicitly includes newly added codes A8005, A8006, and L2221 which are effective 04/01/26 and must be used where applicable.

Use A8005/A8006 for powered grip assist glove items (effective 04/01/26).
Use L2221 for microprocessor-controlled ankle system additions (effective 04/01/26).

Denial Risk

Denial triggers: sports/work use and duplicate devices

Common denial triggers include requests for orthotics used solely for sports or work-related activities and duplicate devices (more than one orthotic per body part for the same function).

Denial Risk

Ineligible damage or alternate payer coverage

Claims for repair or replacement of orthotics damaged due to patient neglect, theft, or abuse, or when another available coverage source exists (e.g., homeowners, rental, auto, liability insurance) will be denied as ineligible for coverage.

Denial Risk

Risk: low or no device use and companion requirement

Low or no device use (for example, inability to meet FDA companion requirements or failure to demonstrate intended at‑home/community use) and failure to meet companion/supervision requirements may result in negative outcomes and could trigger denial if adequate documentation of training, companion availability, or supervised use is lacking.

Document availability of FDA‑required companion or supervised support if applicable
Provide evidence of actual device use and reasons for limited use if relevant

Note

Verify product/contract coverage before submission

If the member's product does not cover a specific service, medical policy criteria do not apply; verify product/contract coverage before submitting requests.

Background

Orthotic devices are rigid or semi‑rigid supports prescribed to provide therapeutic support, protection, restoration, or to improve function of an impaired body part. Their general purpose is to support or restrict motion, protect an area from further injury, and improve the wearer’s ability to perform activities of daily living when tailored to a documented medical need.

Definitions

Orthotic devices (rigid/semi-rigid supports) — definition

DefinitionOrthotic devices are rigid or semi-rigid devices prescribed to provide therapeutic support, protection, restoration, or to improve function of an impaired body part.

FunctionMay support, restore, or protect body function and may redirect, eliminate, or restrict motion of an impaired body part.

Prescriber requirementMust be prescribed by a qualified provider for medical appropriateness.

Custom orthotic device — medical necessity criteria

Custom orthotic definitionAn orthotic fabricated or modified beyond standard devices and considered only when activities of daily living cannot be performed with standard orthotic devices.

Documentation requiredDetailed clinical information is required when non-standard/custom devices are requested to consider coverage.

ConsiderationThe member's specific overall medical condition is considered to determine medical necessity for custom devices.

Orthotics — short definition mapping

Short definitionOrthotics = rigid or semi-rigid devices used to support, restore, or protect body function.

Motion controlMay redirect, eliminate, or restrict motion of an impaired body part.

Examples (policy)Includes AFO, LSO, TLSO, KAFO, splints, corsets, trusses and related braces.

Electronic stance control KAFO devices — examples & selection notes

ExamplesOttoBock E‑MAG Active, Sensor Walk, C‑Brace (electronic/electromagnetic activated stance control KAFOs).

MechanismUse microprocessors and sensors to modulate knee/ankle function and provide more natural gait and stability.

Selection notesNot suitable for patients with significant spasticity, knee flexion contracture >15°, or hip flexor/extensor strength < grade 3; requires sufficient torso/pelvic strength for ambulation.

Myoelectric upper extremity orthosis — example & rehabilitation role

ExampleMyoPro myoelectric arm orthosis (EMG-triggered device that amplifies weak muscle signals to assist arm movement).

Intended useDesigned for stroke or TBI rehabilitation to enable patients to self-initiate and control movements of a partially paralyzed or weakened arm.

Role in rehabUsed as part of prescribed physical therapy and a therapist-guided training program including home exercise program (HEP).

Powered exoskeleton orthosis — examples & purpose

ExamplesReWalk, Indego (Indego Therapy / Ekso Indego), EksoGT / EksoNR.

PurposeWearable robotic exoskeletons that provide powered hip/knee motion to enable standing and walking for individuals with SCI or lower extremity weakness.
