Cast Overwrapping
Question:
Can a practice report a CPT code for a cast application code if they only place a fiberglass overwrapping to current cast?
Answer:
The practice will report a supply code only if the old cast was not removed and replaced but only had additional wrapping placed.
An example may be the overwrapping of a previously applied bivalved cast. The practice would not report a new cast application code but may report the supply code.
