L0160
HCPCSCervical, semi-rigid, wire frame occipital/mandibular support, prefabricated,
This code describes a prefabricated cervical orthosis designed to provide semi-rigid support to the neck, extending to stabilize the occipital bone (back of the head) and the mandible (jaw). It typically features a wire frame structure to maintain its shape and provide structural integrity. This orthosis is used to restrict cervical spine motion and support the head.
This code is used when a patient requires a pre-fabricated, semi-rigid cervical orthosis with occipital and mandibular extensions, often for conditions like cervical sprains, stable fractures, post-surgical stabilization, or degenerative disc disease. Documentation should clearly specify the need for a semi-rigid, wire-frame orthosis that includes both occipital and mandibular support.
