Summary & Overview

HCPCS L7367: Lithium Ion Battery, Rechargeable, Replacement

HCPCS Level II code L7367 denotes a rechargeable lithium ion battery replacement for durable medical equipment. This supply code identifies replacement power components for devices that rely on rechargeable lithium ion technology, which is important as the use of battery-powered DME grows across home and outpatient care. Nationally, accurate coding for replacement batteries supports clinical continuity of device function and appropriate claims processing.

Key payers in the scope of this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of payer coverage patterns and coding guidance, benchmark considerations for supply billing lines, and the clinical context for when a rechargeable battery replacement is billed separately from the primary device. The publication highlights common billing modifiers and service-line placement for supply items, and summarizes where data is available or absent for policy interpretation.

This resource serves clinicians, billing staff, and policy analysts seeking concise, nationally focused information on supplies coding for rechargeable lithium ion batteries used with durable medical equipment. Data not available in the input is called out where applicable.

Billing Code Overview

HCPCS Level II code L7367 denotes a lithium ion battery, rechargeable, replacement. The code represents the supply of a rechargeable lithium ion battery intended to replace an existing battery for a durable medical device.

Service type: Durable medical equipment supply (replacement part)

Typical site of service: Outpatient settings, durable medical equipment suppliers, home health or other ambulatory environments where device maintenance and replacement occur.

Clinical & Coding Specifications

Clinical Context

A 68-year-old male with an implantable cardiac device presents to the outpatient cardiology device clinic for replacement of a depleted rechargeable lithium ion battery component of his external recharger or accessory pack. The patient reports decreased recharge times and inability to fully recharge the device accessory that supports his implanted neurostimulator/pump/controller. Device interrogation confirms normal device function but identifies a failing rechargeable battery module in the external recharger unit that is required for ongoing home charging of the implanted system. The clinical workflow includes device interrogation by cardiac or neuromodulation clinic staff, confirmation that the implanted device does not require revision, ordering of the replacement L7367 lithium ion battery, verification of warranty/coverage, scheduled outpatient visit for replacement of the rechargeable battery in the external recharger or accessory, brief procedure to swap the rechargeable battery module performed by a biomedical technician or trained clinic nurse under the supervision of the implanting physician, testing of the recharger after replacement, documentation of the replaced L7367 part number and serial number, and patient education on charging and return precautions.
