Handling, conveyance, and/or any other service in connection with the implementation of an order involving devices (eg, designing, fitting, packaging, handling, delivery or mailing) when devices such as orthotics, protectives, prosthetics are fabricated by an outside laboratory or shop but which items have been designed, and are to be fitted and adjusted by the attending physician or other qualified health care professional

The CPT® Code 99002 refers to the services associated with the handling, conveyance, and other related activities that occur in connection with the implementation of an order for medical devices. This includes a range of tasks such as designing, fitting, packaging, handling, delivery, or mailing of devices like orthotics, protectives, and prosthetics. In this context, the devices are initially designed within the provider's office but are fabricated by an outside laboratory or shop. Once the fabrication is complete, these items are then delivered to the physician's office or another qualified healthcare provider, where they undergo final fitting and adjustment. This code captures the comprehensive process involved in ensuring that the medical devices are not only created but also properly delivered and prepared for patient use, emphasizing the collaborative effort between the healthcare provider and external laboratories in the provision of these essential medical devices.
