Restore Appearance, Confidence, & Function
When a patient faces the loss of a body part, it’s a profoundly life-altering experience, impacting both their physical and emotional well-being. As their trusted doctor, you hold a pivotal role in guiding them through this challenging journey. Your expertise, medical care, and unwavering support are invaluable assets in aiding your patient’s recovery. While we cannot fully restore what has been physically lost, your referral for a prosthesis can significantly enhance their quality of life and provide newfound hope for a brighter future.

Documentation Best Practices
It is important to provide an accurate ICD-10 code on all prescriptions and medical record notes for compliance with payer requirements. Please clearly document:
- ICD-10 codes AND descriptor narratives
- Direct connection between diagnosis, underlying cause, and resultant condition. For example:
- Trauma: Partial or complete traumatic amputation (of digit, of pinna, etc.)
- Disease: Complete rhinectomy secondary to squamous cell carcinoma
- Congenital: Absence of the right pinna secondary to failed autologous reconstruction for microtia
- Prosthesis description and notes that all consistently support the codes you select, such as:
- Silicone prosthetic finger to restore length of residual digit for job, keyboarding, etc.
- Midfacial prosthesis to cover defect cavity, protect exposed nasal mucosa, restore airway, etc.
- Implant-retained magnetic ear prosthesis to, support eyeglasses, localize sound, etc.
