Coding for Pectus braces ?

Irving, Paul

For those of you doing Pectus Carinatum bracing, how are you coding? The two options that we have considered both fall short:

L1300 – Other scoliosis procedure, body jacket molded to patient model: While it is a body jacket it is not for scoli.

L1499 – Spinal bracing, not otherwise specified: Pectus is a chest wall deformity, the brace is not a spinal brace.

Advice up to this point is L1499 but curious to know what other folks are doing.

Will share responses.

Thanks.
