Effective immediately, Medicaid has approved Procedure Code L5972 (Flexible Keel Foot) as a newly covered code for the Prosthetic, Orthotic, & Pedorthic Program.

Procedure Code L5972 must be provided by a licensed prosthetic, orthotic and/or pedorthic practitioner in the State of Alabama practicing at an accredited facility.  The provider must obtain a written prescription, must keep the prescription on file, and must have supporting documentation that the device is medically necessary.

Medicaid pays for basic level prosthetic, orthotic, and pedorthic devices for ages 21-65.

For questions or concerns regarding the POP Program, please contact Felicha Fisher at (334) 353-5153.
