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.

29584 billing questions
How does 29584 differ from 29583?
29584 includes compression extending through the hand. Use 29583 when the treated area is the upper arm and forearm without the hand.
Is 29584 appropriate for compression of a leg?
No. This code describes upper-extremity compression through the hand; codes 29581 and 29582 describe specified lower-extremity areas.
How is treatment of both arms reported?
CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure: report modifier 50 for bilateral treatment, which is paid at 150%.
What same-day care is included?
The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
Can 29584 be paid with another procedure performed in the same session?
The standard multiple-procedure reduction applies: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. 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.
