Wiki Armband-L3701 deleted... NEW code?

[hthompson]

Since L3701 was deleted 1/1/2010, what would be the appropriate replacement code for this? We dispensed an "Armband-universal for the support of the arm". That's what's typed on the box. It's used for tennis elbow or ulnar neuropathy. It's a simple piece of material with a spongy place to put on the forearm and velcro to secure it in place. I can't find a code

How about A4466?

Garment, belt, sleeve or other covering, elastic or similar stretchable material, any type, each

That seems different than this:

You would code this with that code?

I am also looking for a code to replace L3701. What do you think of A4465 (nonelastic binder for extremity)?

Just got this site today for a crosswalk to new and old HCPCS codes. See if this might help you. You may have to accept the end user agreement before access.

I guess regardless of how it sounds, you are correct according to the Noridian Medicare crosswalk code

Thanks to you Lisa Curtis and thanks to Anna Weaver who provided a link!

This is exactly why I love this site!
