What 29130 covers

This service covers applying and fitting a static splint to immobilize a finger. It may be used for a finger injury such as a sprain or a stable fracture when the treatment plan calls for the finger to remain still. A physician or other qualified practitioner typically performs the application in an office, emergency department, or outpatient setting. The code identifies finger-level static splinting, not a dynamic finger splint or a short-arm splint.

Document the affected finger or fingers, clinical indication, static immobilization plan, and application and fit. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. For bilateral service reported with modifier 50, payment is 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

29130 billing questions

When should 29130 be chosen over 29131?

Use 29130 for a static finger splint that holds the finger in place. Use 29131 when the applied finger splint is dynamic.

How does 29130 differ from 29125?

29130 is for application of a static finger splint. 29125 describes a static short-arm splint, used for a different body area.

What should the record include?

Document the indication, which finger or fingers were treated, the static immobilization plan, and the splint’s application and fit.

How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect payment?

For procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full; each other procedure is paid at 50%.

How is bilateral application paid?

When the service is bilateral and reported with modifier 50, CMS payment is 150%.

Can an assistant or surgical team be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
