Re: pressure relieving devices

[Delores234]

If you can get the HCPCS code from the sales rep we can ask the billers on the list what type of device is assigned this code

Delores

The manual mentions  "gel, air [e.g.Roho] or other cushioning on chair or wheelchair".   "Other cushioning"
leaves room for confusion.
 
On bed  it states "air fluidized, low airloss therapy beds, flotation, water, or bubble mattress or pad". 

My confusion is this:  "other cushioning" on w/c can be
relieving whereas bed must be one of the mentioned types?
Does anyone know about GEOMATT or PRIZM mattresses?
I am having trouble getting literature from the sales rep.
 
My skin nurse states these two are only pressure reduction.
Should I include them on the MDS?  What do you all do?
 
Thanks in advance
