Hi all...I just fit a humeral fracture brace and added a ROM joint and forearm cuff locked at 90. The fracture was a distal humeral and the doctor wanted the elbow locked at 90. How would I go about coding that for Medicare? I have a feeling I can't code better than the usual L3980 but thought I'd check to make sure. Thanks Paula Martinek, LPO
