A7032 - Replacement cushion part for nasal mask breathing equipment
Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
What is a HCPCS Code?
HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes are used to identify medical procedures, supplies, and services for billing purposes. These codes help standardize how healthcare services are reported and billed across different providers and insurance companies.
Detailed Description
This code covers a replacement cushion that fits on a nasal mask interface. The cushion is the soft part that sits against your nose to create a seal when using breathing equipment like CPAP machines or other respiratory devices. This is for replacing worn or damaged cushions only - each individual cushion is covered under this code.
Additional Information
This is specifically for replacement cushions only, not the complete nasal mask. Each cushion is billed individually under this code.
