Which CPT code is used for a night splint?

• A. L4397
• B. L1902
• C. L3000
• D. L4361

Answer: (A)

A night splint is a nocturnal ankle–foot orthosis worn to stretch the plantar structures during sleep. For billing, this device is reported with a HCPCS Level II code designated for a custom-fabricated foot orthosis worn at night. That designation specifically covers a night splint, recognizing it as a custom orthotic device used while sleeping. The other codes point to different orthotic devices or components and aren’t appropriate for a nighttime ankle–foot splint. This distinction matters because CPT codes cover procedures, while the correct code for a night splint is a HCPCS code for a custom foot orthosis worn at night.
