What 29584 covers

This service applies a multilayer compression system to an upper extremity from the upper arm through the forearm and hand. It is used to manage conditions such as lymphedema or edema requiring compression. A physician or other qualified clinician may perform the application in an office or facility setting; the code is distinguished by including the hand as well as the arm and forearm.

Select the code based on the anatomic extent treated and document the clinical indication, treated areas, and application of the compression system. The code has 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 treatment of both arms, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
