Answer: Yes, you definitely should bill for both the splinting procedure and the splint being applied. For instance, if you applied a short-arm splint, you would bill the appropriate CPT code, either 29125 (Application of short arm splint [forearm to hand]; static) or 29126 ( dynamic), as well as the supply code, which can be found in the range of Q4021 to Q4024 for short-arm splints.
Other supplies, such as those in categories A4454 (Tape, all types, all sizes), A4455 (Adhesive remover or solvent [for tape, cement or other adhesive], per ounce), A4460 (Elastic bandage, per roll [e.g., compression bandage]) and A4462 (Abdominal dressing holder/binder, each), are considered "incident to" physician's services and generally cannot be billed with the splint code.
