Supply of an electrical osteogenesis stimulator for bone regeneration.
Medical necessity for E0755 is established when there is a documented need for bone regeneration due to fracture non-union, significant bone loss, or other conditions where bone healing is impaired. The use of the stimulator should be supported by clinical findings and justified by the physician's assessment.
The provider is responsible for supplying the patient with the electrical osteogenesis stimulator, ensuring proper implantation at the appropriate site for bone regeneration, and potentially providing post-implantation care and monitoring.
In simple words: The doctor gives the patient a special device that uses electrical waves to help bones heal faster, like after a break. The device is put in place where the bone needs to heal.
The provider supplies a patient with an electrical osteogenesis stimulator. This device emits electrical waves through the patient's bones to enhance the formation of new bone cells, particularly at fracture sites or areas requiring bone regeneration.The provider implants the stimulator at the designated location.
Example 1: A patient sustains a complex fracture of the tibia requiring bone grafting and stimulation to promote healing. The physician orders an electrical osteogenesis stimulator (E0755) to enhance bone regeneration., A patient with a non-union fracture (failure of the bone to heal) in the femur undergoes surgery for bone grafting. An electrical osteogenesis stimulator (E0755) is implanted to accelerate bone healing., Following a significant bone loss due to trauma, a patient receives a bone graft and an electrical osteogenesis stimulator (E0755) is implanted to improve the success rate of the bone graft.
* Detailed medical history indicating the need for bone regeneration.* Radiographic imaging (X-rays, CT scans) demonstrating the fracture or bone defect.* Operative report documenting the implantation of the electrical osteogenesis stimulator.* Post-operative care plan outlining monitoring and follow-up.* Documentation of patient education regarding the device and its use.
** Medicare coverage for E0755 is subject to medical necessity documentation and may vary depending on the payer.Ensure proper documentation is maintained to support reimbursement.Specific implantation techniques and post-operative management may influence the overall cost and billing practices.
