What is the CPT Code for a Suspension Sleeve?

Suspension Sleeve HCPCS Code L2397

To bill for suspension sleeves as an addition to a lower extremity orthosis, you'll need to use HCPCS Level II codes, which are designed for healthcare products and services that fall outside the CPT system. All bracing and orthotic accessories are categorized under the "L" series of HCPCS codes.

HCPCS Code:

L2397

Definition:

Addition to lower extremity orthosis, suspension sleeve

This code applies to suspension sleeves, which are worn under a knee or lower extremity brace to provide added suspension, skin protection, and compression. These sleeves prevent brace migration, reduce irritation, and improve patient comfort. Some designs also offer compression benefits, which help reduce swelling and improve circulation. PDAC Approved and Medicare-compliant, these suspension sleeves enhance brace stability while ensuring optimal support for patient recovery.

Clinical Use Cases for L2397 Suspension Sleeves

Brace Suspension and Stability

Keeps knee and lower extremity orthoses securely in place, preventing slipping and improving overall brace effectiveness.

Skin Protection and Comfort

Reduces chafing and irritation by creating a protective barrier between the brace and skin, allowing for extended wear.

Compression and Swelling Reduction

Provides gentle compression, which helps reduce swelling and improve circulation in the affected limb.
