Then there’s a billing tactic worth flagging. GEICO says prescriptions used “generic, vague, non-descript” wording – say, an “LSO Brace.” That one phrase, according to the filing, maps to more than 20 billing codes paying anywhere from $43.27 to $1,150.00. GEICO alleges the company, which it says had no licensed provider on staff, picked lucrative codes itself – typically billing $556.19 for a lumbar brace, $514.93 for a “TLSO Brace,” $402.08 for a “Knee Brace,” and $250.02 for a “Wrist Brace.”
