Tony, I did not know exactly how to respond to the recipient but maybe you
can forward the message. The DeRoyal Dynamic Splints are all coded with E
Codes.
E 1800 Elbow, E 1805 Wrist, E 1810 Knee, E 1815 Ankle, E 1820 Soft goods. O
& P practitioners have billed the units under miscellaneous codes as L 9999
with supportive documentation and been paid. However, the codes for these
devices were all changed in 1996.
Thank you,
