Sock Liners for Walking Boots HCPCS Code L2840

To bill for sock liners as an addition to orthopedic walking boots or braces, healthcare professionals must use HCPCS Level II codes, which categorize medical products and services outside the CPT system. All bracing and orthotic accessories are classified under the "L" series of HCPCS codes for accurate reimbursement and compliance.

HCPCS Code:

L2840

Definition:

Addition to lower extremity orthosis, tibial length sock, fracture or equal, each

This code applies to sock liners, which serve as an essential addition for walking boots, post-surgical braces, and fracture recovery supports. These liners improve skin protection, moisture control, and brace fit, ensuring optimal patient comfort and reducing complications such as skin irritation, pressure points, and excessive perspiration. PDAC Approved and Medicare-compliant, these liners are a critical component of effective orthopedic patient care.

Medicare Note: While classified as an addition to lower extremity orthoses, Medicare typically does not cover these liners when used with braces or walking boots, as they do not meet the definition of a standalone brace. Providers should verify insurance coverage based on individual patient needs.
