If you made a thumb splint for a patient and billed it under 97760 and then the patient outgrows it and needs another one made and you have not discharged the patient yet (same bout of therapy) would that be billed as 97760 or 97763. Does the response change if the patient had been discharged and now comes back?
Since it’s a new orthosis, I would say 97760.
