Cast application

About 29065: Long arm cast application

Reports application of a long-arm cast extending from the shoulder region to the hand to immobilize the elbow and forearm.

This service applies a rigid long-arm cast extending from the upper arm or shoulder region to the hand to immobilize the elbow and forearm. Orthopedic clinicians and emergency or urgent-care physicians commonly use it for injuries requiring control of elbow motion, such as selected elbow or forearm fractures, when a cast rather than a removable support is chosen. The code represents cast application, not fracture evaluation, reduction, or ongoing fracture management.

Select 29065 by the documented cast extent, not simply the diagnosis: the cast must reach from shoulder to hand. Record the indication, laterality, and extent. When fracture treatment is reported, the initial cast application is part of that treatment and should not be separately reported as 29065. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, including same-day preoperative and postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. For bilateral application, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery is not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
