Ill. Admin. Code tit. 68, § 1325.45 - Classification of Devices
a) The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMMS) Common Procedure Coding
System (HCPCS) is used as a universal coding database for orthotic, prosthetic,
and pedorthic devices. To determine the appropriate level of supervision, the
following categorizations are used:
1) "Custom
fabricated and fitted device" means an orthosis, prosthesis, or pedorthic
device fabricated to original measurements and/or a mold for patient use in
accordance with a prescription and that requires substantial clinical and
technical judgment in its design and fitting. Licensees or non-licensed
caregivers under direct or close supervision of a licensee should provide
custom fabricated and fitted devices.
2) "Custom fitted device" means a
prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis, or pedorthic device sized and/or modified
for patient use in accordance with a prescription, and that requires
substantial clinical judgment and substantive alteration for appropriate use.
Licensees or non-licensed caregivers under close or indirect supervision of a
licensee should provide custom fitted devices. Custom fitted devices are
sub-classified as "high complexity" or "low complexity".
A) Custom fitted device (high complexity): A
prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis, or pedorthic device sized and/or modified
for patient use in accordance with a prescription and that requires substantial
clinical judgment (involving high clinical assessment and patient management
skills) or substantive alteration (involving medium technical implementation
skills) for appropriate use.
B)
Custom fitted device (low complexity): A prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis, or
pedorthic device sized and/or modified for patient use in accordance with a
prescription and that requires substantial clinical judgment (involving medium
clinical assessment and patient management skills) or substantive alteration
(involving low technical implementation skills) for appropriate use.
3) "Off-the-shelf device" means a
prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis or pedorthic device sized and/or modified
for patient use in accordance with a prescription and that does not require
substantial clinical judgment and substantive alteration for appropriate use.
Licensees or non-licensed caregivers under indirect supervision of a licensee
may provide off-the-shelf devices.
4) "Over-the-counter device" means a
prefabricated, mass-produced device that is prepackaged and requires no
professional advice or judgement in either size selection or use, including
fabric or elastic supports, corsets, generic insoles, elastic hose.
Over-the-counter devices do not require the supervision of a
licensee.
