We have a patient that needs a hand, wrist and finger orthosis. I have a few coding options that I am searching for some clarification on.
Does anyone know if we can bill for L3916 AND L3931 - Both descriptions are very similar but one is a hand/wrist orthosis and one is a hand/finger orthosis. My research and thought process tend to lean towards one or the other and not both with the logic of one is a wrist AND hand orthosis and one is a hand AND finger orthosis so if I billed for both, essentially I am billing for two HAND orthosis.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Amanda
