Insurance Code For a Helmet or Band

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know the insurance code for the band or helmet. We are

going to see a neurosurgeon in November and I want to know ahead of

time if we are covered for a band?

Thank you

from orthomerica.com:

" Cranial remolding orthoses are custom molded devices and carry a

specific billing code of S1040 or an undifferentiated code of L1499

or E1399. If your insurance company says that it covers billing code

L0100, tell them that the L0100 code is for a protective helmet, not

a remolding orthosis. If your insurance company tells you

that " orthotics " are excluded in your policy, ask what type

of " orthotics " the policy refers to. Many insurance companies exclude

orthotics worn in the shoes to prevent a variety of foot problems and

inaccurately generalize the term to include cranial remolding and

other types of orthoses. "
