Jones dressing
The Jones Dressing is more than just an ace wrap, it is a splint. Code the splint application according to the body part splinted (short leg, short arm, etc.). Remeber to add the modifier for laterallity (L,R).

I have a claim like this, the Dr. charged CPT 29515 for the application of the splint but shouldn't we also charge for the actual splint or is that included in the application code?Jones dressing

Did you consult the CPT book guidelines on it? How did you think it should be coded?

I think it should be billed with q4046 as well

Yes, the Q code supplies are separately coded
