Description
Gain a clear understanding of the current reimbursement landscape for powered MPKs. This session will cover key coding considerations, documentation requirements, and practical strategies to help ensure successful claims and minimize delays in coverage.

Explore how the Bio Leg®—an advanced powered microprocessor knee—has completely transformed the life of a bilateral patient. This session provides an in-depth look into the patient's entire rehabilitation journey, featuring data-driven functional improvements, measurable outcome metrics, and unique firsthand perspectives from both the patient and their treating prosthetist.

Join Dr. Howard Weiss and Steve Pompolo of Brooks Rehabilitation for a groundbreaking case study on powered prosthetics. Learn how a retired police officer with complex medical factors defied clinical expectations, transforming from a K1 ambulator with a walker to a K3 patient using a single-point cane; a progression previously thought impossible with his clinical presentation.

This in-depth physician's review explores the clinical evolution from passive to active prosthetic technology, contrasting traditional microprocessor-controlled knees (MPKs) with next-generation powered robotic joints. By analyzing biomechanical efficiency and patient outcomes, the comparison reveals how actively motorized prosthetics are fundamentally shifting the paradigm of mobility and reducing energy expenditure for amputees.

Speaking with Todd Schaffhauser, former Paralympic athlete and founder of Amputee Walking School. Todd is the first US user of the Bio Leg® and has been using it for the past six months. During the webinar, Todd shared his experiences with the powered prosthesis, shedding light on its features, benefits, and his personal journey with the technology.

Understanding the intricacies of HCPCS coding, documentation, and reimbursement can be challenging for prosthetists, especially when dealing with powered advanced prostheses like the Bio Leg®. In a past edition of our Bio Leg® Masters webinar, we spoke with Linda Collins, a leading expert in coding, coverage, and reimbursement for orthotics and prosthetics.

This session will begin with a brief overview of the Bio Leg, followed by a real-world perspective from a patient partner. Learn how advanced users are integrating powered prosthetics into daily life, with insights into functional benefits, adaptation, and long-term utilization.

Explore how powered microprocessor knees can enhance patient mobility, stability, and overall quality of life. This session will review clinical applications, patient selection considerations, and real-world outcomes from a physical therapy perspective.

We had the pleasure of speaking with two experts whose perspectives highlight the transformative potential of the Bio Leg®: Jose Rodriguez-Torres, a Patient Specialist at Bremer Orthotics & Prosthetics, and Todd Norton, Owner and President of Bremer Orthotics & Prosthetics. Both shared their unique experiences and insights about the Bio Leg®, offering valuable takeaways for believers and users alike.

Securing insurance for advanced devices like the Bio Leg® requires precise, patient-centered documentation. In a recent webinar, clinical expert Kevin Symms drew on his 15 years of experience to share proven strategies for crafting compelling narratives that anticipate reviewer questions, highlight patient benefits, and stand up to scrutiny.
