Here's Kathy Dodson's response to my earlier post about E codes regarding
dynamic stretching splints that are rented to the client.
Response:
The E codes E1800-E1818, E1825 and E1830 are capped rental items and can be
billed by O&P facilities who are willing to deal with capped rental. The
DMERCs will not pay for purchase of these items. E1820 and E1821 are for
replacement soft interface material and could be paid on a lump sum payment
basis only for replacement of linings on devices the patient already owns.
Hope this answers your questions.
