Is anyone familiar with CMS splint application fees? I work for a doctor and our office manager recently went to a class and was told that he can bill for the application of wrist and ankle splints (codes 291254 & 29515). I do all of the bracing in the office and thought that orthotists and prosthestist could not bill for anything other than the device. Reimbursement for these codes is good and I bill under him so I don't know if this is allowed. Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance for your help.
