Application Of A One-piece Rigid Body Cast

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 29010

This is the application of a rigid, one-piece cast that wraps around the trunk, used to hold the spine still while a fracture heals, after certain spinal surgeries, or to help manage spinal curvature. Because it's applied in one continuous piece, it provides firm, consistent support without a separate upper and lower section. The cast is custom-molded to the individual's body.
