Leg Bags for Beneficiaries Who are Ambulatory

Leg bags are designed for beneficiaries who are ambulatory, chair-bound, or wheelchair-bound, as they facilitate mobility. However, for bedridden beneficiaries, the use of leg bags is generally considered not reasonable and necessary and claims for such usage would likely be denied. This policy ensures that the appropriate medical equipment is used based on the beneficiary's mobility and needs.
