NOTES
1. Do not code the following devices—they are
basically supplies which do not splint or immobilize the patient’s injuries:
Buddy taping
DAS (sling)
Neck collars
TED hose
Knee sleeves
Ace wraps
Orthototics
Heel pads or cups
Boots & shoes—i.e.
Darco shoe, wedge shoe, post op shoe, hard sole shoe, cast shoe, ortho shoe, pressure shoe (for
ulcers)
2. “Dynamic”
is a brand name, so when you see the term “Dynamic splint”, do not
assume this is dynamic as opposed to
static, it is most likely the brand name.
Check to see if it is set up to
move. Even hinged devices are usually
locked to provide immobilization for the current injury.
Code to the appropriate site.
3. Sometimes sling & swath is applied to
immobilize another body site besides the shoulder. Code
to the appropriate site.
