Help,
Does anyone know what the HCPC code is for a "vertical platform lift"?
-
electric/motorized patient lifts (HCPCS codes E0628, E0635, E0636, E0637, E0639, E0640)
or E0627 for a 3-Way Lift Chair
are any of these for the item you are describing? I don't see 'vertical platform lift'.

Thank you Michele,
That is the problem I was having, I couldn't find a specific code for "vertical platform lift". Everything I came across stated it wasn't medically necessary, with no HCPC code listed. My best guess was E0640. Would this be a case where I could use E1399 and describe the equipment?

You may want to use the E1399 in this case.
