Coding for Gait Plates

What is the correct code for gait plates?

Since there are several codes that could qualify, depending on the specificity of the gait plate and type, whether it's for an adult or a child, prefabricated or not, I recommend contacting the manufacturer directly. By contacting them, you can obtain the correct HCPCS code for the item you are purchasing to dispense. Some examples fall under the range of the following orthotics and not only limited to the two listed below:

L3000: Foot, insert, removable, molded to patient model, 'ucb' type, berkeley shell, each

L3030: Foot, insert, removable, formed to patient foot, each
