I have a provider who is telling me that he can bill strapping codes 29200-29280 and 29520-29590 when he uses a sling, wrap and or belt to immobilize the area of injury ( SuperCoder March 2001). The last documentation I can find is APC's Insider, February 25, 2005 states that applying a sling is a first-aid technique and not to code as application. Does anyone have any newer documentation to support this?
