One of our providers in the ER billed for the Application of finger splint; static. Workers Comp is denying stating splint application requires creation of the splint in order to be separately reportable. Metal finger splints are usually prefabriacated & are considered implicit in the E/M code and cane be reported with HCPCS supply code. Our ER physicians do not work for the hospital and bill separately. Does anyone know where I can find Medicare guidelines for this specific CPT? Or if anyone knows where I can find some specific information in reference to this kind of splint, it would be greatly appreciated!
