    Clinical & Coding Specifications

    Clinical Context

    A 38-year-old patient presents to a burn clinic eight weeks after sustaining a partial-thickness thermal injury to the distal lower extremity and dorsal foot. The acute wounds have epithelialized, but the patient has persistent hypertrophic scarring and edema from the foot to the knee, causing pain with ambulation and limited dorsiflexion. The burn reconstruction team — including a burn surgeon, certified prosthetist/orthotist (CPO), and occupational/physical therapist — evaluates the patient and prescribes a custom-fabricated compression burn garment, foot to knee length, to provide graduated compression, scar modulation, and edema control.

    Workflow: The clinician documents the diagnosis, functional limitations, and the medical necessity for custom compression. A prescription with garment specifications (foot-to-knee length, compression class, measurements) is sent to a vendor or department that fabricates custom garments. The CPO performs patient measurements and documents fitting. The patient returns for fitting and education on wear schedule and skin monitoring. Follow-up visits assess scar maturation, fit, and need for adjustments or replacement.
