Hi!
I've been asked to determine what would be the best code for physical therapists to report compression wraps for lymphedema. I've been told this service involves the actual bandaging procedure, not just application of a fitted pressure garment. My initial thought is that this is not separately billable and should be included in the primary procedure for the day (e.g.; manual therapy, use of vasopneumatic devices, or self-management training for bandaging at home). Does anyone have any other ideas/thoughts?
Thanks!
