Boxes per Case 8 8The American Medical Association (AMA) has established a CPT code for the application of multi layer compression systems - CPT Code 29581. Physicians and other healthcare providers treating patients with multi layer compression therapy may be eligible for reimbursement for their services.

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) is a listing of descriptive terms and identifying codes for reporting medical services and procedures physicians and other medical professionals perform.

HCPCS and CPT codes have been provided to assist you in the preparation of insurance claims. Please note, however, that the reimbursement information provided by 3M Health Care and its representatives is intended to provide general information relevant to coverage and coding for 3M products. Insurers’ reimbursement policies can vary and the use of the codes discussed here does not guarantee that an insurer will cover or pay at any particular level. Health care providers should exercise independent clinical judgment in choosing the codes which most accurately describe the products provided.
