Ice Pack

(1/2) > >>

DMK:
What is the current code for an Ice Pack (given to the patient)?  I know insurance doesn't pay for them, but I need to identify it on the claim.

Thanks!

kristin:
If actually applied, it looks like it is 97010. If the pack is just given to the patient, all I can find are the misc. supply codes E1399 or 99070

DMK:
Thanks!

DMK:
E1399 is not recognized, and 99070 is no longer valid.  I have used E0230 but not they don't want that either.  I know it's usually non-covered, but their holding up a whole claim for one line item.  Any thoughts?

Michele:
We use 99070.  I know it's not recognized but that is what are docs use.  There isn't any better code for the simple ice pack that providers use to send home with patients.
