Hi List,

Can anyone suggest an appropriate code for a custom-made protective sports face mask, example a soccer player who just had a rhinoplasty?

The doctor tried to use a nasal prosthesis code; others have suggested the compressive burn mask code but we talked about it and feel that is inappropriate. We were looking at a miscellaneous code (which naturally isn't covered) and wondered whether anyone knew of other options.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
