Generic Code Best for Budin Toe Splint

Question: What supply code should we report for a

Budin toe splint (toe straightener)?

Missouri Subscriber

Answer: HCPCS doesn't include a code specifically

for a Budin toe splint, so your only option is a

generic supply code. The closest choice is temporary

code Q4051 (Splint supplies, miscellaneous [includes

thermoplastics, strapping, fasteners, padding and other

supplies]).
