Maybe Medicare instead of Medicaid?

https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/prosthetic-devices

Or maybe argue with Medicaid again
https://medicaid.ncdhhs.gov/providers/programs-and-services/medical/orthotic-and-prosthetic-devices

Orthotic and Prosthetic devices are purchased for customers when prescribed by the treating physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner, and medical necessity is documented. An item is medically necessary if it is needed to maintain or improve a beneficiary’s medical, physical or functional level. Orthotic and prosthetic devices purchased by Medicaid become the property of the Medicaid beneficiary.


It looks to me like the highlighted portion above makes your case completely.
