Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I don't have the answer, but just a question to add to this. How is L3908 different from 3914? Has anyone seen one being paid for over another?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 , I am assuming that your billing dept. does not have the updated HCPCS codes. L3914 has been deleted and it says to use L3908 in place of it. L3908 is described as " WHO, wrist extension control cock-up, nonmolded,prefabricated, includes fitting and adjustment " . We use the L3908 code fairly often and as long as we include an invoice with the charge, we get reimbursement. Even with BCBS. Try checking online with your DME carriers fee schedule. (You will not find L3914 listed) The website you have referenced is not correct. Hope this helps!

I have a link that describes the code (http://icd9cm.chrisendres.com/index.php? action=search & srchtype=hcpc & srchtext=L3914), but BCBS is saying its invalid.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hi Amy, I just posted a reply to re: HCPCS codes. But to answer your question as well, L3914 has beed replaced by L3908. There is no longer a code of L3914.
