L3100

Bothered by pain and stiffness from bunions? Your doctor may prescribe you a night splint to help fix your bunion problems. It's likely that the night splint your doctor will prescribe you has the medical billing code L3100. Each medical billing code has a specific set of requirements that must be fulfilled in order for the orthosis to qualify under that code. L3100, for instance, is the medical billing code for a bunion night splint. (see regulations for the L3100 night splint below)

The medical billing code L3100 is used to identify Hallus-Valgus night dynamic splints. Hallus-Valgus is just another name for a bunion. In sort, this is a splint worn at night to correct bunions. L3100 splints must be dynamic, meaning they wrap around your foot in order to pull the big toe out to where it needs to be.

The L3100 billing code applies to prefabricated splints. These bunion splints are not custom made or modified in any fashion to fit one specific patient. If you are experiencing pain and stiffness in your big toe, go to see a doctor for a correct diagnosis. Other conditions can cause the same symptoms as bunions, so it is important to know what the cause of your pain is, before treatment. Mistreatment can cause conditions to worsen, slowing recovery time.
