L-Code Clarification

[Guest guest]

I had a question for the group about L-codes. When reading up on this charge

code it is my understanding that this code includes the:

1) Evaluation

2) Fitting of the splint

3) Material and supplies

4) Any return visits for adjustments/modifications of this splint for

the next 90 days.

If I understand correctly, I am able to charge an orthotic fitting charge on the

day I make the splint and any return visits for the time I do training with the

patient.

Is this a correct understanding?

I always wondered why the price on these codes was so high, but now that I

understand it includes any return visits for modification and the initial

evaluation I can more clearly can understand.

Thanks,
