Wiki Cast boot part of walking cast?

[terridiaz]

Hi I have a friend that is trying to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am trying to determine if a cast boot is part of a walking cast or should be billed separately. The CPT code for the application of the walking cast is 29425. According to what I read it says it does not include supplies or materials. I am not sure of the HCPCS code for the cast boot. We have been using L3260.

it is not part of the cast itself. It is considered a DME and should be billed in addition to the cast. (and pray the provider allows for reimbursement of such)

Thank you, I will let her know. These forums are awesome because of people like you.

Would the L3260 HCPCS code be correct?

modifier 51 or not

dr. performed 64614 and 29425
would you add modifier 51 to 29425
