Tab 2 - Quality Control Plan – Do you need the specific plan for each product being bid by LCODE or from the complete product portfolio? Ex. We have 100 products do you need to see (I -VI).

Suggest By the complete product portfolio. The manufacture should state recommended coding.

We have a product which is a foot and a knee (system), should we list in two separate L codes or just one L code? If only can be used, should it be the knee?

No, just state the recommended coding for the complete system.

Should we include all modular components under the socket code L5700 and/or L5701?

No. Both codes are custom and include direct clinical care and not appropriate to be used by a manufacture.

L5700 : Replacement, socket, below knee, molded to patient model L5701 : Replacement, socket, above knee/knee disarticulation, including attachment plate, molded to patient model

Suggest adding under a listing, modular components, which will not have a HCPC code, and may require a separate VA identifier.

Can we recommend adding an additional Clin for vacuum? I believe vacuum codes under L5781 and 5782 for Heavy Duty (HD) L5781 : Addition to lower limb prosthesis, vacuum pump, residual limb volume management and moisture evacuation system.

L5782 : Addition to lower limb prosthesis, vacuum pump, residual limb volume management and moisture evacuation system, heavy duty

Just confirming that L1832, 2397, and L3020 were meant to be included in the solicitation? These are orthotic categories. If intentional, L1832 is fairly broad can you provide guidance to any specifics in this category? Post Op knee bracing or hinged ROM knee wraps, or both? Please see updated Price Schedule to reflect the remove of orthotic codes.

The Nabtesco Allux knee has been listed under L5856 traditionally but has been awarded a new code that will take place sometime in the first quarter of 2024, should we keep that under the L5856 or should a new Clin L5615 (new awarded PDAC code) be added?

Please use current CLIN L5856 and we will updated when the new code is updated.

Has there been any discussion or intentions to add L5859 as a new Clin? This is the power knee code and knowing that the VA has been utilizing this technology we felt the need to ask as there are a few options available in this category now.
