Application Of A Lower Leg Splint

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 29515

This service applies a rigid, non-adjustable splint extending from the calf down to the foot, used to immobilize and support an injured lower leg, ankle, or foot while it heals. Unlike a cast, a splint can typically be removed for cleaning, swelling checks, or adjustment while still providing firm support. It's often used for a fracture, sprain, or after certain procedures where full permanent immobilization by a cast isn't yet appropriate.
