Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 29505 covers

A long-leg splint supports the lower extremity across the knee, extending from the thigh toward the ankle or foot. Physicians and other qualified clinicians commonly apply it in emergency departments, offices, and hospital settings for acute injuries or fractures, including after reduction, when the knee and leg need immobilization. Unlike a circumferential cast, a splint leaves room for swelling and examination of the limb.

Select the code for the long-leg extent of the applied splint, not for a below-knee splint or knee strapping. Documentation should identify the condition prompting immobilization, the treated side, the extent of the splint, and the application performed. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral application, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
