Chrisofix® patented technology is meant to make splinting faster and more efficient than earlier developed limb fixation methods. Chrisofix orthoses are the top solution for optimal immobilization:
- They ensure a safer stable semicircular or circular fixation.
- These orthoses can be adjusted and re-adjusted within a minute, without water or heat.
- They can be adjusted while on the patient.
- Chrisofix has opened new horizons for the uses and benefits of therapeutic splinting.
- This brand can provide more efficient and targeted immobilization than usual fixation products.
Many clinicians appreciate the quality and ease-of-use of Chrisofix splints but have hesitated to adopt them due to uncertainty around billing. With the latest CPT code updates, that barrier is removed, helping practices accurately code, submit, and receive reimbursement for Chrisofix applications.
Why the Update Matters
This update provides transparency and alignment with common clinical billing practices while reducing claim denials and billing errors. The primary goal for this update is to make it easier for clinicians to document and code accurately. This change ultimately supports broader product adoption and smoother administrative workflows.
