Hey Guys,
Now I need a little assistance! I have had a request for a little help with a HCPCS code. The old code for finger splint, L3911, was deleted in 2010. There seems to be some confusion on what code is supposed to be used to replace it. I did some research and based on DME Jurisdiction D, the new code should be A4466. But from what I can tell the A4466 is not covered by DMERC. Isn't a finger splint covered by DMERC? Am I just finding the wrong info? I also found codes Q4049, S8450 and S8452, but can't find anything concrete. Anyone out there with info?

Michelle, try S8450 with your correct modifier if it is a prefab splint
or for a static try Q4049

Thanks, I will check them both out.

Not
The a4466 is correct, and is non-covered
