Unna Boot

Unna boot is considered a dressing. You should never code for any Unna boot supplies. Payers include the cost of all Unna boot supplies (bandages, straps and paste) in their payment for 29580. CPT code 29580 has a global period of 0 days. An evaluation and management (E&M) code can be billed in addition, when the initial evaluation of the condition leading to a decision to apply the Unna Boot is done. A subsequent E&M code for an established patient should not be billed when repeat Unna Boot application is done, unless an unrelated separately identifiable E&M service is performed. In this case, modifier -25 must be used with the E&M code. When an Unna boot is applied to one extremity, use the appropriate RT or LT modifier to indicate which leg is affected.
