Durable Medical Equipment (DME)-Upper and Lower Limb Prostheses Medical Guideline

Service: DME-Upper and Lower Limb Prostheses

PUM 250-0026-1709

Medical Guideline Committee Approval Q2-06/2025 Effective Date 01/01/2026

Coverage for Prosthesis varies across plans. Refer to the member’s benefit plan document for coverage details.

Description:

This guideline addresses prosthetic devices-fabricated items designed as replacements for missing body parts. There are many different prosthetic upper and lower limb designs available. The choice of prosthetic design depends upon the level of amputation as well as the individual’s physical condition, ability to ambulate safely, expected functional activity level, and benefit coverage. Design options include simple prosthetics that function optimally at one walking cadence, heavier hydraulic controlled devices that allow variation of walking cadence, and microprocessor-controlled devices. Microprocessor- controlled/computer-controlled/myoelectric devices are considered a type of power enhancement/controlled device.

Indications of Coverage:

A. GENERAL CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR A PROSTHETIC DEVICE

  1. Care is prescribed by a physician, nurse practitioner, podiatrist or other health professional who is qualified to prescribe prosthetics according to State law; and
  2. The prosthetic will significantly improve or restore physical functions required for mobility related activities of daily living (ADL’s); and
  3. The members participating physician or licensed health care practitioner has determined that the prosthesis will allow the member to perform ADLs based on physical examination of the member; and
  4. The prosthesis is provided within six months of the date of prescription; and
  5. The prosthetic services are performed by a duly licensed and /or certified, if applicable, prosthetic provider. (All services provided must be within the applicable scope of practice for the provider in their licensed jurisdiction where the services are provided); and

Page 2 of 32

  1. The services provided are of the complexity and nature to required being provided by a licensed or certified professional prosthetist or provided under their direct supervision by a licensed ancillary person as permitted under state laws. (Services may be provided personally by physicians and performed by personnel under their direct supervision as permitted under state laws, as physicians are not licensed as prosthetists); and
  2. The certified professional prosthetist must be in good standing with one or more of the following: a. American Board for Certification (orthotics, prosthetics, pedorthics); or
    b. Board of Certification/Accreditation (prosthetics, orthotics) (BOC); or
    c. Licensed by the state in which services are provided (where legally required).

    Medical Necessity for a prosthetic appliance is based on an individual’s functional ability when using the prosthetic. Functional ability is based on the following classification levels:

    Level 0: Does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer safely with or without assistance and prosthesis does not enhance their quality of life or mobility.

    Level 1: Has the ability or potential to use prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence. This level is consistent with descriptions of the limited and unlimited household ambulator.

    Level 2: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low level environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs or uneven surfaces. This level is consistent with descriptions of the limited community ambulator.

    Level 3: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. This level is consistent with descriptions of the community ambulator who has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple locomotion.

    Level 4: Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting high impact, stress, or energy levels. This level is consistent with the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult, or athlete.

    Note: Consideration is given to bilateral amputees who often cannot be strictly bound by the Classification levels.

    Note: The use of a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic over a standard prosthetic for home use (for example, to climb stairs at home) or for the limited community ambulator (for example, to climb stairs at work) is considered not medically necessary.

Page 3 of 32

Note: Health plan language regarding prosthetic benefits, special features, and standard models is applicable.

B. Lower limb prostheses (foot, ankle, above/below knee)-must meet criteria from A. above and:

A lower limb-mechanical (non-powered, non-microprocessor): Single axis, fluid swing and stance phase control lower limb addition (HCPCS code L5828) is considered medically necessary when the individual is a functional level 3 or greater as defined above.

A Lower limb-microprocessor-controlled prosthetic device: Any of the following microprocessor-controlled prosthetics, including additions/components that are required for the effective use of the device (and consistent with the user’s function level), are considered medically necessary when the individual is a function level 3 or greater and ANY of the following:

  1. ankle-foot prosthetic (HCPCS code L5973) for a transtibial amputee (i.e., below-the-knee)

  2. knee prosthetic (HCPCS codes L5856, L5857, L5858)
    a. for a knee disarticulation amputee or a transfemoral amputee (i.e., above-the-knee); AND b. the member has a need for daily long-distance ambulation at variable rates (greater than 400 yards); AND c. has a need for regular ambulation on uneven terrain or for regular use on stairs; AND d. the member has adequate cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and pulmonary reserve needed for ambulating at a faster than baseline rate; AND e. the member demonstrates the ability to ambulate at a faster than baseline rate using a standard prosthetic with a swing and stance control knee; AND f. the member has the cognitive ability to master gait sequencing and care requirements of the higher level of technology; AND g. the member’s function level is a 3 or 4 as defined above.

  3. a combination prosthetic/system (e.g., Linx), when a microprocessor- controlled prosthetic knee alone is inadequate to meet the functional needs of the individual (e.g., continued knee/foot instability due to environmental/anatomical barriers).

Page 4 of 32

  1. A microprocessor-controlled prosthetic is considered not medically necessary for any other indication.

    A microprocessor controlled lower limb prosthesis with stance –phase or swing and stance phase microprocessors, utilizing complex sensory systems with additional environmental input (e.g., gyroscope and accelerometer, e.g., Genium™) is considered medically necessary for an above-the-knee amputee and knee disarticulation amputees when all the following criteria are met:

  2. All the criteria in section A. (above) area met.

  3. The member must have undergone extensive evaluation by a prosthetist and is felt to be of a functional level of at least K3, for a microprocessor knee.

  4. Documentation of specific activities / difficulties with current prosthetic that can be addressed with the new prosthetic.

    A Lower limb-powered microprocessor-controlled prosthetic device: an endoskeletal knee-shin system (addition to a lower limb device) with powered and programmable flexion/extension assist control, including any type of motor(s) (HCPCS code L5859) (e.g., Ossur Power Knee) is considered medically necessary when ALL of the following criteria have been met:

  5. The individual has a swing and stance phase-type microprocessor controlled (electronic) knee (HCPCS code L5856).
  6. the individual is functional level 3 (K3) only.
  7. the individual has a documented comorbidity of the spine and/or sound limb affecting hip extension and/or quadriceps function that impairs K3 level function with the use of a microprocessor-controlled knee alone.

    *Note: Coverage of this device is limited to individuals who are Functional Level 3: the device is not intended for high impact activity, sports, excessive loading, or heavy-duty use.

    The following powered prosthetic devices are each considered not medically necessary: microprocessor-controlled ankle foot prosthetic with power assist (e.g., PowerFoot BiOM, iWalk, Proprio Foot, empower Ankle) [HCPCS codes L5973, L5969]); a powered lower limb prosthetic for any other indication.

    AND for microprocessor controlled prosthetic device, ALL the following criteria must be met:

Page 5 of 32

I. The individual has expressed a willingness to ambulate, and the individual’s current activities daily exceed the capabilities of a standard lower limb prosthetic device.

II. The patient has used a standard lower limb prosthetic device for independent daily activities for a minimum of three (3) months.

III. Medical, physical therapy (rehabilitation) and prosthetist records indicate all the following:

a. That the use of the device will enable the individual to reach a minimum of functional level 3 within three months of obtaining the device. The records must document the individual’s current functional level, the expected functional level, and why the expected functional level cannot be achieved with the current device / prosthesis.

b. That there is no significant cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, pulmonary, or neuromuscular condition that would prohibit maximal use of the device (for example, a cardiac, vascular, orthopedic, pulmonary, or muscular condition that would prevent the individual from achieving a fast-walking pace),

c. Gait analysis documents that the individual can ambulate at a rate faster than what can currently be achieved with a standard prosthesis despite appropriate adjustments to the current prosthesis.

d. Appropriate patient weight and height for the device chosen.

C. Upper Limb Prostheses (finger, hand, wrist, above/below elbow, shoulder)- must meet criteria for A. above and:

An Upper Limb-Myoelectric Prosthetic Device is considered medically necessary for an individual with an amputation or congenital absence of a portion of an arm (e.g., hand, forearm, elbow) when ALL of the following are met:

  1. Standard prosthesis (body-powered) is not sufficient to provide functionality for performance of activities of daily living or individual cannot use standard prosthesis.

  2. Individual is 2 years old or greater.

Page 6 of 32

  1. Individual has unilateral trans-radial or trans-humeral deficiency and the proximal arm musculature remaining contains the minimum microvolt threshold to operate a myoelectric prosthesis.

  2. Individual has the cognitive ability to operate a myoelectric prosthesis and participate in the prosthetic training process.

  3. Individual is able to tolerate the weight of the prosthesis.

  4. Individual does not have an underlying neuromuscular disease.

    D. Repair and replacement: Replacement of a prosthesis is limited by the health plan to no sooner than every three years after purchase. The decision to repair a prosthetic rather than replace parts is made at the discretion of WPS. Replacement or repair of a prosthesis or a prosthetic part is considered medically necessary when documentation indicates either:

  5. There is a change in the physiological condition or functional level of the member, which justifies a new prosthesis or replacement parts. Criteria for the prosthesis must still be met.

    OR

  6. There is a change in the condition of the device, or in a part of the device, and both of the following:

    a. The condition of the device (or the part of the device) requires repairs, and the cost of such repairs would be more than the cost of a replacement device or of the part being replaced.

    b. The component or prosthesis in need of replacement is not covered under warranty and need for replacement is not due to improper use. The prosthetist should provide warranty information with the request.

    The reason for replacement for any prosthesis must be clearly documented by the treating practitioner (loss, irreparable damage, or change in member’s condition that cannot be accommodated by modification of the existing prosthesis). Repairs are covered when there has been accidental damage or extensive wear to the prosthesis that can be repaired. If the expense for repairs exceeds the estimated expense for a replacement prosthesis, no payments can be made for the excess repairs above the replacement cost.

Page 7 of 32

The prosthetic device is created from many different components that must be specified in the prescription and prior authorization request. These include microprocessor motors, external battery packs, and all the parts that will be used. The basic parts, depending upon the level of the amputation, include:

• A socket (connection between the residual limb and prosthesis)
• A suspension mechanism (how the socket is attached to the prosthesis)
• A joint (e.g., knee joint which provides support during stance, smooth control during swing phase and unrestricted motion for sitting and kneeling)
• A pylon (a tube or shell that attaches the socket to the terminal device) that is either exoskeleton or endoskeleton.
• A terminal device (e.g., foot or hand)

Note: Up to two test (diagnostic) sockets may be required for accurate fitting of an individual prosthesis. In addition, up to two socket inserts may be required per individual prosthesis at the same time.

Note: Requests for additional test sockets and/or socket inserts require documentation supporting medical necessity such as documentation of functional and/or physiological need, including but not limited to, changes in the residual limb, functional need changes, or irreparable damage or wear/tear due to excessive weight or prosthetic demands of very active amputees.

The following are considered medically necessary when used in conjunction with approved prosthetic devices:

  1. Supplies and accessories medically necessary for effective functioning of allowed equipment.
  2. Repairs or adjustments to medically necessary prosthetic devices that are required due to bone growth or reasonable weight loss or reasonable weight gain and normal wear and tear during normal usage of the device.
  3. Replacement of medically necessary prosthetic devices when repairs or adjustments fail and/or are not possible.
  4. Two test (diagnostic) sockets for an individual prosthetic. Additional documentation of medical necessity is required for more than 2 test sockets.
    Test sockets are considered to include all diagnostic procedures.
  5. Prosthetic sheaths/socks, including a gel cushion layer (prosthetic gel stockings; 12 in 12 months) are considered medically necessary.
  6. No more than 2 socket inserts per individual prosthesis are considered medically necessary.
  7. No more than two replacement liners per prosthesis in 12 months are considered medically necessary.
