About 29130: Static finger splint application
Report static finger splint application when a finger needs immobilization, such as after an injury, and the selected device is designed to hold it still.
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.
