Swedish Knee Orthoses HCPCS Code L1850
To bill for Swedish knee cages, 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 devices are categorized under the "L" series of HCPCS codes.
L1850
Knee orthosis, swedish type, prefabricated, off-the-shelf
This code applies to Swedish knee orthoses, commonly known as Swedish knee cages, which are prefabricated, off-the-shelf braces designed to control genu recurvatum (knee hyperextension). These braces feature a lightweight aluminum frame with an adjustable posterior pressure pad that limits knee extension while allowing controlled flexion. Secured with padded straps, they provide comfortable, low-profile support for patients needing stabilization during daily activities. Medicare-compliant and ready to use, these orthoses offer effective hyperextension control for various clinical needs.
Clinical Use Cases for L1850 Swedish Knee Cages
Genu Recurvatum (Knee Hyperextension)
Prevents excessive knee extension by applying posterior pressure, improving gait stability and reducing strain.
Post-Stroke or Neuromuscular Weakness
Provides knee support for patients experiencing hyperextension due to muscle weakness or neurological conditions.
Post-Injury or Post-Surgical Knee Stabilization
Supports controlled movement and prevents hyperextension following knee injuries or surgical recovery.
