Application Of A Rigid Forearm Splint

Michigan rates for HCPCS 29125

This service applies a rigid, non-adjustable splint extending from the forearm to the hand, used to immobilize and support an injured wrist, hand, or forearm while it heals. Unlike a cast, a splint can typically be removed for cleaning or adjustment, though it still provides firm support. It's often used for a fracture, sprain, or after certain procedures where full immobilization by a permanent cast isn't necessary.
